Lucifer. And if the higher knowledge quenches love,
What must he be you cannot love when known?[ca]
Since the all-knowing Cherubim love least,
The Seraphs' love can be but ignorance:
That they are not compatible, the doom
Of thy fond parents, for their daring, proves.
Choose betwixt Love and Knowledge—since there is
No other choice: your sire hath chosen already:430
His worship is but fear.
Adah.Oh, Cain! choose Love.
