Paradise Lost - Milton (example)

(I'll be rewriting a stanza from Milton's Paradise Lost, because I did it for a school assignment the other day lol This is a non-rhyming poem and I changed it to have rhyme. These are from lines 50-60 in the poem, and I've added on afterwards. These lines speak of the nine days it took for Lucifer's army of angels to fall from heaven.)

Nine times the Space that measures Day and Night

To mortal men, he with his horrid blight

Lay vanquisht, rowling in the fiery Gulfe

Counfounded though immortal: But his rough

Reserv’d hands clasp in wrath; for now the fall

Torments him in doomed delay, eyes crawl

From star to earth in anguish and dismay

Mixt with obdurate pride and stedfast hate:

"These be my folly," he screamed to heaven

Voice wracked with a liar's shamed confession,

"Fires that burn insidious and strange -

Cast thee free from thy ghostly, holy cage.

Damned be sinners who lie outside the wide

Gaze of God's loving, critical black eye.

Let it never be said He loves ye there -

For His fury hath no Mercy to bear."
