Paradise Regained

Paradise Regained is a poem written by the English poet John Milton, and is a sequel to his earlier work, Paradise Lost. The poem explores the temptation of Jesus Christ by Satan, who attempts to lure him away from his divine mission. The poem is divided into four books, each of which explores a different aspect of the temptation. The first book focuses on Satan's attempt to convince Jesus to use his divine powers for personal gain, while the second book explores Satan's attempt to turn Jesus against his father. The third book sees Satan trying to convince Jesus to pursue worldly power and glory, while the final book sees Jesus triumphing over Satan and rejecting all of his temptations. The poem is considered to be a masterful exploration of the nature of temptation and the struggle between good and evil, and is widely regarded as one of Milton's greatest works.Now had the great Proclaimer, with a voice More awful than the sound of trumpet, cried Repentance, and Heaven's kingdom nigh at hand To all baptized. To his great baptism flocked With awe the regions round, and with them came From Nazareth the son of Joseph deemed --Milton.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
