Extort (111): obtain by force or threats. 此句用了倒装，其正常结构是：His wrath or might (power) shall never extort that glory from me. sue for grace (111): beg for mercy suppliant (112): humbly begging deify his power / who: worship the power of him who (112-13). 这里，his power who是密尔顿常用的拉丁语结构。 Who from the terror of this arm so late / Doubted his empire (113-14): God, fearing the strength of our power which he lately confronted, became uncertain of his authority and rule.
