Which excerpt from milton’s paradise lost shows satan's plan to destroy adam and eve?

a.) nay curs'd be thou; since against his thy will
chose freely what it now so justly rues.
me miserable! which way shall i flie
infinite wrauth, and infinite despaire?
which way i flie is hell; my self am hell;
and in the lowest deep a lower deep
still threatning to devour me opens wide,

b.) sight hateful, sight tormenting! thus these two
imparadis't in one anothers arms
the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill
of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,
where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,
among our other torments not the least,
still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;

c.) o fair foundation laid whereon to build
thir ruine! hence i will excite thir minds
with more desire to know, and to reject
envious commands, invented with designe
to keep them low whom knowledge might exalt
equal with gods; aspiring to be such,
they taste and die: what likelier can ensue?

d.) but first with narrow search i must walk round
this garden, and no corner leave unspi'd;
a chance but chance may lead where i may meet
some wandring spirit of heav'n, by fountain side,
or in thick shade retir'd, from him to draw
what further would be learnt.
