Note 205 — BOOK II.—THE RENAISSANCE (Continued) (continued 3)
Henri Van Laun translation
The Miltonic Deity is so much on the level of a king and man, that he uses (with irony certainly) words like these: "Lest unawares we lose This our high place, our Sanctuary, our Hill." His son, about to flesh his maiden sword, replies: "If I be found the worst in heaven," etc. Book V. lines 731-742.
