In Paradise Regained, Satan again is on the prowl, having successfully tempted Adam and Eve and forced their departure from the Garden of Eden, here he sets out to tempt again – this time Jesus himself as he comes to the end of his forty days in the desert. The magisterial poetry of Milton enriches the encounter and, while not matching the greatness achieved in Paradise Lost, provides drama and depth.
Paradise Regained
Paradise Regained - The First Book
Oh ancient powers of Air and this wide World
So to the coast of Jordan he directs
Meanwhile the Son of God, who yet some days
This having heard, straight I again revolved
Full forty days he passed – whether on hill
Whom thus answered the Arch-Fiend, now undisguised:
To whom our Saviour sternly thus replied
So spake our Saviour; but the subtle Fiend
The Second Book
Thus they out of their plaints new hope resume
The while her Son, tracing the desert wild
To whom quick answer Satan thus returned
He ceased, and heard their grant in loud acclaim
He viewed it round
‘What doubts the Son of God to sit and eat?’
To whom thus Jesus patiently replied
The Third Book
To whom our Saviour calmly thus replied
To whom the Tempter, murmuring, thus replied
To whom our Saviour answer thus returned
With that (such power was given him then), he took
He looked, and saw what numbers numberless
To whom our Saviour answered thus, unmoved
The Fourth Book
And now the Tempter thus his silence broke
To whom the Son of God, unmoved, replied
Whom thus our Saviour answered with disdain
Look once more, ere we leave this specular mount
To whom our Saviour sagely thus replied
Or, if I would delight my private hours
So saying, he took (for still he knew his power Not yet expired)
