The passage below is the first of Satan's speeches. It takes place immediately after he and his rebellious angels are cast out of heaven and he finds himself sitting in Hell beside Beelzebub, his number two.


from BOOK I (Lines 72-156)

In utter darkness, and their portion set

As far removed from God and light of Heaven

As from the center thrice to the utmost pole.

Oh how unlike the place from whence they fell!

There the companions of his fall, overwhelmed

With floods and whirlwinds of tempestuous fire,

He soon discerns, and weltering by his side

One next himself in power, and next in crime,

Long after known in Palestine, and named

Beelzebub. To whom the arch-enemy,

And thence in Heaven called Satan, with bold words

Breaking the horrid silence thus began.

If thou beest he; But oh how fallen! how changed

From him, who in the happy realms of light

Clothed with transcendent brightness didst outshine

Myriads though bright: If he whom mutual league,

United thoughts and counsels, equal hope

And hazard in the glorious enterprise,

Joined with me once, now misery hath joined

In equal ruin: into what pit thou seest

From what heighth fallen, so much the stronger proved

He with his thunder: and till then who knew

The force of those dire arms? yet not for those,

Nor what the Potent Victor in his rage

Can else inflict, do I repent or change,

Though changed in outward luster; that fixed mind

And high disdain, from sense of injured merit,

That with the mightiest raised me to contend,

And to the fierce contention brought along

Innumerable force of spirits armed

That durst dislike his reign, and me preferring,

His utmost power with adverse power opposed

In dubious battle on the plains of Heaven,

And shook his throne. What though the field be lost?

All is not lost; the unconquerable will,

And study of revenge, immortal hate,

And courage never to submit or yield:

And what is else not to be overcome?

That glory never shall his wrath or might

Extort from me. To bow and sue for grace

With suppliant knee, and deify his power,

Who from the terror of this arm so late

Doubted his empire, that were low indeed,

That were an ignominy and shame beneath

This downfall; since by fate the strength of gods

And this empyreal substance cannot fail,

Since through experience of this great event

In arms not worse, in foresight much advanced,

We may with more successful hope resolve

To wage by force or guile eternal war

Irreconcilable, to our grand Foe,

Who now triumphs, and in the excess of joy

Sole reigning holds the tyranny of Heaven.

So spake the apostate angel, though in pain,

Vaunting aloud, but racked with deep despair:

And him thus answered soon his bold Compeer.

Oh Prince, Oh chief of many throned powers,

That led the embattled seraphim to war

Under thy conduct, and in dreadful deeds

Fearless, endangered Heaven’s perpetual King;

And put to proof his high supremacy,

Whether upheld by strength, or chance, or fate,

Too well I see and rue the dire event,

That with sad overthrow and foul defeat

Hath lost us Heaven, and all this mighty host

In horrible destruction laid thus low,

As far as gods and heavenly essences

Can perish: for the mind and spirit remains

Invincible, and vigor soon returns,

Though all our glory extinct, and happy state

Here swallowed up in endless misery.

But what if he our Conqueror, (whom I now

Of force believe Almighty, since no less

Then such could have overpowered such force as ours)

Have left us this our spirit and strength entire

Strongly to suffer and support our pains,

That we may so suffice his vengeful ire,

Or do him mightier service as his thralls

By right of war, what e're his business be

Here in the heart of Hell to work in fire,

Or do his errands in the gloomy deep;

What can it then avail though yet we feel

Strength undiminished, or eternal being

To undergo eternal punishment?

Whereto with speedy words the arch-fiend replied.

Sympathy
by Paul Laurence Dunbar


I KNOW what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals -
I know what the caged bird feels!


I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting -
I know why he beats his wing!


I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, -
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings -
I know why the caged bird sings!


An Account of an Experience With Discrimination
by Sojourner Truth
A few weeks ago I was in company with my friend Josephine S. Griffing, when the conductor of a streetcar refused to stop his car for me, although (I was) closely following Josephine and holding on to the iron rail. They dragged us a number of yards before she succeeded in stopping them. She reported the conductor to the president of the City Railway, who dismissed him at once, and told me to take the number of the car whenever I was mistreated by a conductor or driver. On the 13th I had occasion to go for necessities for the patients in the Freedmen's Hospital where I have been doing and advising for a number of months. I thought now I would get a ride without trouble as I was in company with another friend, Laura S. Haviland of Michigan. As I ascended the platform of the car, the conductor pushed me, saying "Go back--get off here." I told him I was not going off, then "I'll put you off" said he furiously, clenching my right arm with both hands, using such violence that he seemed about to succeed, when Mrs. Haviland told him he was not going to put me off. "Does she belong to you?" said he in a hurried angry tone. She replied, "She does not belong to me, but she belongs to humanity." The number of the car was noted, and conductor dismissed at once upon the report to the president, who advised his arrest for assault and battery as my shoulder was sprained by his effort to put me off. Accordingly I had him arrested and the case tried before Justice Thompson. My shoulder was very lame and swollen, but is better. It is hard for the old slaveholding spirit to die. But die it must....

"Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!"4 A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. A man who had been soaked in water, and smothered in mud, and lamed by stones, and cut by flints, and stung by nettles, and torn by briars; who limped, and shivered, and glared and growled; and whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin.5 "O! Don't cut my throat, sir," I pleaded in terror. "Pray don't do it, sir."6 "Tell us your name!" said the man. "Quick!"7 "Pip, sir."8 "Once more," said the man, staring at me. "Give it mouth!"9 "Pip. Pip, sir."10 "Show us where you live," said the man. "Pint out the place!"11 I pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church.12 The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread. When the church came to itself - for he was so sudden and strong that he made it go head over heels before me, and I saw the steeple under my feet - when the church came to itself, I say, I was seated on a high tombstone, trembling, while he ate the bread ravenously.13 "You young dog," said the man, licking his lips, "what fat cheeks you ha' got."14 I believe they were fat, though I was at that time undersized for my years, and not strong.1

Which description is of the man in the graveyard?
A) crying B) hungry C) fat cheeks D) undersized
