Than Heaven permits, nor mine, though doubled now 1010 Where thou art weighed, and shown how light, how weak, Murmuring, and with him fled the shades of night. 1015 1010. For proof look up, and read thy lot in yon celestial sign.] "The English words yon and yonder are more emphatic, because more demonstrative, than the pronoun that and the adverb there.

Where thou art weighed.] "Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting."-Dan. v. 27. So true is it that Milton oftener imitates Scripture than [he does] Homer and Virgil, even when he is thought to imitate them most.-NEWTON. 1013. The Fiend looked up.] Observe the quietness with which Milton concludes after the contest is brought to a close. The issue being settled, all further interest vanishes, and he hurries the vanquished combatant out of sight. With him darkness disappears. He is the Prince of darkness, and it envelops him wherever he is, but no sooner did he fly than "The earth, delivered from so foul annoy, Recalled her beauty and resumed her joy." FAIRFAX'S Tasso.
