Book Description
Excerpt from Calvary, or the Death of Christ: A Poem in Eight Books After a short introduction, which states the miraculous acts of Christ, and serves to mark the period at which the Poem commences, Satan goes forth by night into the wilderness, and finds himself in the very spot where he had in vain practised his temptations upon Christ Here he falls into meditation upon that unsuccessful interview, and vents him/ selfin soliloquy Indignant under disappointment, and impatient to re pair his defeat, he ascends to the summit of the mountain, from whence he had exhibited the kingdoms of the earth, and calls the Devils from all parts of the Heathen world: The whole host of Infernals assembled at his summons The chief leaders are enumerated, their persons and attributes described: Satan addresses them, and proposes the subject matter for their consultation, namely, By what means to counteract the power of Christ upon earth Baal delivers his sentiments by stating difiiculties and objections. Without any decided opinion, unless for se duction in the general Moloch angrily resents what he considers as pointed at himself, and speaks disdainfully against the proposal of se duction, as not only desperate, but disgraceful: Bella] replies, and, after much circumlocution, suggests a temptation to be set on foot by Mammon He is interrupted by Satan, who reproves him for certain digressions in his speech, but adopts his hint of employing Mammon, and calls upon that evil spirit to attempt the fidelity of Judas Iscariot, whom he points out to him as the only one of the disciples open to se duction Mammon at first afi'ects to excuse himself from the under taking, but in conclusion accepts it, and, taking wing in presence of the whole applauding host, sets out upon his embassy, directing his course to the city of Jerusalem.
