Meanwhile the Adversary of God and Man,
Satan, with thoughts inflamed of highest design,
Puts on swift wings, and toward the gates of Hell <<<
Explores his solitary flight: sometimes <<<
He scours the right hand coast, sometimes the left;
Now shaves with level wing the deep, then soars<<<
Up to the fiery concave towering high.
As when far off at sea a fleet descried <<<
Hangs in the clouds, by equinoctial winds <<<
Close sailing from Bengala, or the isles <<<
Of Ternate and Tidore, whence merchants bring<<<
Their spicy drugs; they on the trading flood,
--Milton
