What could he less expect
Then glory and benediction, that is thanks
The slightest, easiest, readiest recompence

Meaning

A subtle dig at Satan, who got kicked out of Heaven basically because he refused to give God the respect he deserved

Indeed, Satan’s fall, as related by Milton, might be the original “epic fail”
