Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lost Cause Regained "Much ostentation vain of fleshly arm And fragile arms, much instrument of war, Long in preparing, soon to nothing brought Before mine eyes thou hast set; and in my ear Vented much policy, and projects deep Of enemies, of aids, battles and leagues, Plausible to the world, to me worth naught, Means I must use, thou say st, prediction else Will unpredict and fail me of the throne: My time I told thee (and that time for thee Were better farthest off) is not yet come; When that comes, think not thou to find me slack On my part aught endeavouring, or to need Thy politic maxims, or that cumbersome Luggage of war there shown me, argument Of human weakness rather than of strength More humane, more heavenly first By winning words to conquer willing hearts, And make persuasion do the work of fear. At least to try and teach the erring soul Not wilfully misdoing, but unware, Misled; the stubborn only to subdue." Milton's "Paradise Regained."
