"Tell him withal
His danger and from whom, what enemy
Late fall'n himself from Heav'n is plotting now
The fall of others from like state of bliss:
By violence, no, for that shall be withstood,
But by deceit and lies. This let him know
Lest willfully transgressing he pretend
Surprisal unadmonished, unforewaned." 5.238-245

Love Gabriel's snarky responses to Satan's claim he merely fled pain as anyone would: "But wherefore thou alone? Wherefore with thee /Came not all Hell broke loose? Is pain to them /Less pain, less to be fled, or thou than they /Less hardy to endure? Courageous chief: /The first in flight from pain!" 4.917-21.

Unlike Tolkien's orcs, Milton's devils are capable of "firm concord" (2.497) and even harmony which "Suspended Hell and took with ravishment / The thronging audience" (2.554-555). And the latter is in direct contrast to the rebellion of Melkor in Tolkien's creation story.
