Thus

Thus

THUS
from Paradise Lost

THUS | Matthew Ritger

[…]

Breaking the horrid silence thus began.
His proud imaginations thus displayed.
Thus to the empyreal minister he framed.
Then much revolving, thus in sighs began.

[…]

To whom thus Satan with contemptuous brow.
To whom the winged warrior thus returned.
To which the fiend thus answered frowning stern.
From midst a golden cloud thus mild was heard.

2

THUS | Matthew Ritger

[…]

And with persuasive accent thus began.
And visage all inflamed first thus began.
And in the midst thus undismayed began.
And him thus answered soon his bold compeer.

[…]

To whom in brief thus Abdiel stern replied.
To whom the patriarch of mankind replied.
To whom Satan turning boldy thus. Ye powers
Words interwove with sighs found out their way.

3

THUS | Matthew Ritger

[…]

Wondering; but soon the almighty thus replied.
To whom the winged hierarch replied.
Whereto with speedy words the arch-fiend replied.
Whom thus the angelic virtue answered mild.

[…]

Thus while he spake, each passion dimmed his face.
After short pause assenting, thus began.
Scarce thus at length failed speech recovered sad.
They vote: whereat his speech he thus renews.

4

THUS | Matthew Ritger

[…]

When Adam thus to Eve: Fair consort, the hour
Turned him all ear to hear new utterance flow.
Thus talking hand in hand alone they passed.
To add more sweetness, and they thus began.

[…]

So spake the false dissembler unperceived.
And thus his own undaunted heart explores.
So spake the fiend, and with necessity.
Thus saying, from his radiant seat he rose.

5

THUS | Matthew Ritger

[…]

He recked not, and these words thereafter spake.
Whereto with look composed Satan replied.
Awakn’ing, thus to him in secret spake.
The assessor of his throne he thus began.

[…]

And thus the filial Godhead answering spake.
So spake our general mother, and with tears.
So spake the false archangel, and infused.
So saying, on he led his radiant files.

6

THUS | Matthew Ritger

[…]

Or summer’s noontide air, while thus he spake.
Brightness had made invisible, thus spake.
Thus to his only Son foreseeing spake.
Which uttering thus he to his Father spake.

[…]

Replete with joy and wonder, thus replied.
To whom the Sovereign Presence thus replied.
Conscious of highest worth, unmoved thus spake.
Amidst in thunder uttered thus his voice.

7

THUS | Matthew Ritger

[…]

To whom the Father, without cloud, serene.
To whom thus Eve with sad demeanor meek.
To whom Michael thus, he also moved, replied.
To whom thus Michael. Death thou hast seen.

[…]

To those bright orders uttered thus his voice.
Whom thus the prince of darkness answered glad.
So having said, he thus to Eve in few.
Whom thus the meager shadow answered soon.

8

THUS | Matthew Ritger

[…]

Whereto thus Adam, fatherly displeased.
And thus with words not sad she him received.
To whom thus also the angel last replied.
Expressed, and thus divinely answered mild.

[…]

Approaching, thus to Adam called aloud.
Related, and thus Adam answered sad.
Whence Adam, faltering long, thus answered brief.
I heard thee in the garden, and of thy voice.

9

THUS | Matthew Ritger

[…]

Soon learned, now milder, and thus answered smooth.
To all his host on either hand thus spake.
He asked, but all the heavenly choir stood mute.
His dearest mediation thus renewed.
