Ding Ding Ding...we have a winner. You get a gold star.
I can't believe the number of people falling for this SATIRE from WWN :)
They may have mischaracterized Beelzebub in this news article:
Satan says to him upon waking chained (in adamant) to the lake of fire after nine days fall:
"If thou beest he, but o how fallen, how
Changed from him who in the happy realms of
Light didst outshine myriads though bright..."
Eliot and others under the tutelage of that sneering pig Leavis says this is evidence that Milton was of the devil's party without knowing it. However, Satan's speech is just fragment after fragment of misery. He can't put a complete thought in place. It's perfect poetry.
And while "To reign is worth ambition," the whole sovreignty thing is overemphasized.
Sorry. Miltonist. Too, pardon the metrics... it's from memory.
