Sole Positive of Night! Antipathist of Light! Fate's only essence! primal scorpion rod -- The one permitted opposite of God! -- Condensed blackness and abysmal storm Compacted to one sceptre Arms the Grasp enorm -- The Intercepter -- The Substance that still casts the shadow Death! -- The Dragon foul and fell -- The unrevealable, And hidden one, whose breath Gives wind and fuel to the fires of Hell! -- Ah! sole despair Of both th' eternities in Heaven! Sole interdict of all-bedewing prayer, The all-compassionate! Save to the Lampads Seven Reveal'd to none of all th' Angelic State, Save to the Lampads Seven, That watch the throne of Heaven! |
