Paradise Lost Ⅴ 精彩片段：
16
Son, thou in whom my glory I behold
In full resplendence, Heir of all my might, [ 720 ]
Neerly it now concernes us to be sure
Of our Omnipotence, and with what Arms
We mean to hold what anciently we claim
Of Deitie or Empire, such a foe
Is rising, who intends to erect his Throne [ 725 ]
Equal to ours, throughout the spacious North;
Nor so content, hath in his thought to try
In battel, what our Power is, or our right.
Let us advise, and to this hazard draw
With speed what force is left, and all imploy [ 730 ]
In our defense, lest unawares we lose
This our high place, our Sanctuarie, our Hill.
