" for now the thought
both of lost happiness and lasting pain
torments him"

" and re-assembling our afflicted power
consult how we must henceforth most offend
our enemy, our own lost how repair,
how overcome this dire calamity,
what reinforcement we might gain from hope,
if not, what resolution from despair"

"better to reign in hell than serve in heaven"
