Paradise Lost Ⅱ 精彩片段：
18
Before mine eyes in opposition sits
Grim Death my Son and foe, who sets them on,
And me his Parent would full soon devour [ 805 ]
For want of other prey, but that he knows
His end with mine involvd; and knows that I
Should prove a bitter Morsel, and his bane,
Whenever that shall be; so Fate pronouncd.
But thou O Father, I forewarn thee, shun [ 810 ]
His deadly arrow; neither vainly hope
To be invulnerable in those bright Arms,
Though temperd heavnly, for that mortal dint,
Save he who reigns above, none can resist.
She finishd, and the suttle Fiend his lore [ 815 ]
Soon learnd, now milder, and thus answerd smooth.
