Paradise Regained

I, who erewhile the happy Garden sung By one man’s disobedience lost, now sing Recovered Paradise to all mankind, By one man’s firm obedience fully tried Through all temptation, and the Tempter foiled In all his wiles, defeated and repulsed, And Eden raised in the waste Wilderness.

我曾歌颂那幸福的花园，因一个人的不服从而失落，现在我要歌唱，所有人类恢复的天堂，因一个人坚定的顺从而彻底经受了考验，战胜了诱惑者，在他所有的诡计中被击败、击退，荒野中重建了伊甸园。

The Adversary, who, roving still About the world, at that assembly famed Would not be last, and, with the voice divine Nigh thunder-struck, the exalted man to whom Such high attest was given a while surveyed With wonder; then, with envy fraught and rage, Flies to his place, nor rests, but in mid air To council summons all his mighty Peers.

那个在世界上游荡的对手，在那个著名的集会上不愿落后，当那高声的神圣声音几乎像雷击一样，他凝视了一会儿那位被赋予如此高见证的崇高之人，感到惊奇；然后，满怀着嫉妒和愤怒，他飞回自己的地方，不停歇，而是在半空中召集所有强大的同伴召开会议。
