Thou hadst. Whom hast thou then, or what, to accuse, But Heav'n's free love dealt equally to all? Be then his love accurs'd, since, love or hate, To me alike it deals eternal woe. Nay, curs'd be thou, since against his thy will Chose freely what it now so justly rues. Me miserable! which way shall I fly Infinite wrath and infinite despair? Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell; And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep Still threat'ning to devour me opens wide, To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heav'n. O then at last relent! is there no place Left for repentance, none for pardon left?</i> HooooWeee! Call me to that narrow path! Ever since I saw the Milton post, I’ve had a few fragments stuck in mind, something about losing the power to choose, and having continual fresh hells opening below :-) so I hadda go find ‘em, lines 66-80, Paradise Lost:

“Hadst thou the same free will and power to stand?

Thou hadst. Whom hast thou then, or what, to accuse,

But Heav’n's free love dealt equally to all?

Be then his love accurs’d, since, love or hate,

To me alike it deals eternal woe.

Nay, curs’d be thou, since against his thy will

Chose freely what it now so justly rues.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly

Infinite wrath and infinite despair?

Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;

And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep

Still threat’ning to devour me opens wide,

To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heav’n.

O then at last relent! is there no place

Left for repentance, none for pardon left?

HooooWeee! Call me to that narrow path!
