“He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack,
For he knew when he pleas’d he could whistle them back.”

Th’ infernal Serpent; he it was, whose guile
Stird up with Envy and Revenge, deceiv’d
The Mother of Mankinde, what time his Pride
Had cast him out from Heav’n, with all his Host
Of Rebel Angels,”

as if they were
some animals, some beasts.’”
