temptation of Christ in the wilderness. According to the
poet's
conception whereas Paradise was lost by the yielding of
Adam and
Eve to Satan's temptation, so was it regained by the
resistance
of the Son of God to the temptation of the same spirit.
Satan is
here represented not in the majestic lineaments of
Paradise Lost,
but as a cunning, smooth and dissembling creature, a
'Spirit
unfortunate', as he describes himself. There is a
comperative
scarcity of similes and ornament, and only a vivid and
ingenious
expansion of the biblical texts.
