Not uninvented that, which thou aright Believ'st so main to our success, I bring : Which of us who beholds the bright surface Of this ethereous mould whereon we stand. This continent of spacious heav'n, adorn'd With plant, fruit, flow'r ambrosial, gems, and gold, Whose eye so superficially sur-veys These things, as not to mind from whence they grow Deep under ground, materials dark and crude. ^M:^^^W# ^^g^^^ PARADISE LOST. 107 Of spirituous and fier}' spume, till touch'd With heaven's raj-, and... temper'd they shoot forth So beauteous, op'ning to the ambient light ? These in their dark nativity the deep Shall yield us pregnant with infernal flame, Which into hollow engines long and round Thick-ramni'd, at th' other bore with touch of fire Dilated and infuriate, shall send forth From far with thund'riug noise among our foes Such implements of mischief, as shall dash To pieces, and o'er whelm whatever stands Adverse, that thej^ shall fear we have disarm'd The Thunderer of his only dreaded bolt.
