Him the Almighty Power
Hurld Headlong flaming from th’ Ethereal Skie
With hideous ruine and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
Who durst defie th’ Omnipotent to Arms.John Milton, Paradise Lost, I.44-49 (image from a 1873 facsimile of the 1667 first edition, London: Basil — Montagu — Pickering).
