Sentences with STEEP (5)

Thus said, he turnd, and _Satan_ bowing low, As to superior Spirits is wont in Heaven, Where honour due and reverence none neglects, Took leave, and toward the coast of Earth beneath, Down from th’ Ecliptic, sped with hop’d success, Throws his steep flight with many an Aerie wheele, Nor staid, till on _Niphates_ top he lights.
