Paradise Regained is a poem written by the English poet John Milton, published in 1671. It is a sequel to his earlier work, Paradise Lost, and focuses on the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness by Satan. The poem is divided into four books and begins with Satan's arrival in the wilderness, where he finds Jesus fasting and praying. Satan tries to tempt Jesus with various offers of power and glory, but Jesus resists all of them, relying on his faith in God and his knowledge of scripture. In the end, Satan is defeated and Jesus emerges victorious, having regained the paradise that was lost to humanity through Adam and Eve's disobedience. The poem is a meditation on the nature of temptation, the importance of faith, and the power of God's grace to overcome evil. It is considered one of Milton's greatest works and a masterpiece of English literature.Now had the great Proclaimer, with a voice More awful than the sound of trumpet, cried Repentance, and Heaven's kingdom nigh at hand To all baptized. To his great baptism flocked With awe the regions round, and with them came From Nazareth the son of Joseph deemed --Milton.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
