Happy, but for so happy ill secured
Hi, I read a phrase from "Paradise lost" by Milton.
"Happy, but for so happy ill secured".
I couldn't understand what it means, so I looked up translations in my native language, then found a translation.
"(Someone is) happy, but the happiness won't last"
Could someone tell me this translation is right? Whether right or wrong, could you please help me understand this phrase?
Thank you!!
