BOOK III.
107
Thus said, he turned; and Satan bowing low,
As to superior Spirits is wont in Heaven,
Where honor due and reverence none neglects,
Took leave, and toward the coast of Earth beneath,
Down from the ecliptic, sped with hoped success,740
Throws his steep flight in many an aery wheel,
Nor stayed, till on Niphates' top he lights.
