Eno aged mother
Who the chariot of Leutha guides
Since the day of thunders in old time
Sitting beneath the eternal oak
Trembled and shook the stedfast earth
And thus her speech broke forth

O times remote! when love and joy
Were adoration: and none impure were deemed not
Eyeless covet nor thin-liped envy
Nor bristled wrath nor curled wantonness

Eno aged mother
Who the chariot of leutha guides
Since the day of thunders in old time
Sitting beneath the eternal oak
But covet was poured full
Envy fed with fat of lambs
Wrath with lions gore
Wantonness lulled to sleep
With the virgins lute
Or sated with her love

Eno aged mother
Till covet broke his locks
And bars and slept with open doors
Envy sung at the rich mans feast
Wrath was follow'd up and down by a little ewe lamb
And wantoness on his own true love begot a giant race

Raging furious the flames of desire
Ran thro' heaven and earth, living flames
Intelligent, organized
Armed with destruction and plagues
In the midst the
Eternal prophet bound in a chain
Compelled to watch Urizens shadow
Rag'd with curses and sparkles of
Fury round the flames roll as
Los hurls his chains
Mounting up from his fury, condensed
Rolling round and round, mounting on
High Into vacuum: into nonentity
Where nothing was

Where nothing  dash'd wide apart
His feet stamp the eternal fierce-raging
Rivers of  wide  flame; they roll round and round on all
Sides making their way Into darkness and shadowy obscurity
Wide apart stood the fires
Los remain'd in the void between fire and fire
In trembling and horror they beheld him
They stood wide apart, driven by his hands
And  his feet which the nether abyss stamped in fury and
Hot indignation

But no light from the fires
All was darkness round Los heat
Was not for bound up Into fiery spheres
from his fury the gigantic flames trembled and hid
Coldness, darkness, obstruction
A Solid without fluctuation, hard as adamant
Black as marble of Egypt
Impenetrable bound in the fierce raging  immortal
And the seperated fires froze in a vast solid without fluctuation
Bound in his expanding clear senses
