Question

Which lines are enjambed in this excerpt from John Milton’s Paradise Lost?

I may assert th' Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.
Say first, for Heav'n hides nothing from thy view
Nor the deep Tract of Hell, say first what cause
Mov'd our Grand Parents in that happy State,
Favour'd of Heav'n so highly, to fall off
From their Creator, and transgress his Will
For one restraint, Lords of the World besides?

Answer 1

The correct answer is lines: 3,4,6, and 7. Enjambed lines are those in which the end of the line does not end the thought or the sentence. At the end of these lines, there are no punctuation marks.

Answer 2

Enjambment is an incomplete syntax at the end of the line when the meaning runs over from one line to another without the use of punctuation. Knowing this definition is more than enough to answer to that question. We can observe enjambment in the lines 3,4,6 and 7 which the lines are not end-stopped.
