    Such happy interview and fair event

    Of love and youth not lost, Songs, Garlands, Flours,

    A<big></big>nd charming Symphotachd the heart [ 595 ]

    Of Adam, soon end to admit delight,

    The bent of Nature; which he thus expressd.

    True opener of mine eyes, prime Angel blest,

    Much better seems this Vision, and more hope

    Of peaceful dayes portends, then those two past; [ 600 ]

    Those were of hate ah, or pain much worse,

    Here Nature seems fulfilld in all her ends.

    To whom thus Michael. Judg not what is best

    By pleasure, though to Nature seemi,

    Created, as thou art, to nobler end [ 605 ]

    Holie and pure, itie divine.

    Those Tents thou sawst so pleasant, were the Tents

    Of wiess, wherein shall dwell his Race

    Who slew his Brother; studious they appere

    Of Arts that polish Life, Iers rare, [ 610 ]

    Unmindful of thir Maker, though his Spirit

    Taught them, but they his gifts aowledgd none.

    Yet they a beauteous  shall beget;

    For that fair femal Troop thou sawst, that seemd

    Of Godd<tt></tt>esses, so blithe, so smooth, so gay, [ 615 ]

    Yet empty of all good wherein sists

    Womans domestiour and chief praise;

    Bred onely and pleted to the taste

    Of lustful appeteo sing, to dance,

    To dress, and troule the Tongue, and roule the Eye. [ 620 ]

    To these that sober Raen, whose lives

    Religious titld them the Sons of God,

    Shall yield up all thir vertue, all thir fame

    Ignobly, to the traines and to the smiles

    Of these fair Atheists, and now swim in joy, [ 625 ]

    (Erelong to swim at large) and laugh; for which

    The world erelong ..a world of tears must weepe.

    To whom thus Adam of short joy bereft.

    O pittie and shame, that they who t<q></q>o live well

    Enterd so faire, should turn aside to tread [ 630 ]

    Paths i, or in the mid way faint!
