Forto they flew,
None arguing stood, innumerable hands
ere ready, in a moment up turnd
ide tial soile, and sah [ 510 ]

Conception; Sulprous Foame

Concocted and adusted they reducd

Of missive ruin; part incentive reed

So all ere day-spring, under conscious Night

Now w in heavn appeerd
Up rose tor Angels, and to Arms [ 525 ]

Of Golden Panoplie, refulgent ,
Soon banded; othe dawning hills
Lookd round, and Scouts eac light-armed scoure,
Eacer, to descrie tant foe, [ 530 ]

In motion or in alt:
Under spred Ensignes moving nigh, in slow
But firm Battalion; back Sail
Zopest wing, [ 535 ]
Came flying, and in mid Aire aloud thus crid.
Arme, arriours, Arme for fig hand,

Sad resolution and secure: let each

Fit well his orbed Shield,
Born eevn or his day will pour down,
If I conjecture aught, no drizling showr, [ 545 ]
But ratling storm of Arroh fire.
