He lookd, and saw the Ark hull on the floud, [ 840 ]Whiow abated, for the Clouds were fled,
Drivn by a keen North- wihat blowing drie
Wrinkld the face of Deluge, as decaid;
And the cleer Sun on his wide watrie Glass
Gazd hot, and of the fresh Wave largely drew, [ 845 ]
As after thirst, which made thir flowing shrink<tt></tt>
From standing lake to tripping ebbe, that stole
With soft foot towards the deep, who now had stopt
His Sluces, as the Heavn his windows shut.
The Ark no more now flotes, but seems on ground [ 850 ]
Fast oop of som high mountain fixt...
And now the tops of Hills as Rocks appeer;
With clamor thehe rapid Currents drive
Towards the retreatihir furious tyde.
Forthwith from out the Arke a Raven flies, [ 855 ]
And after him, the surer messenger,
A Dove sent forth ond agen to spie
Green Tree round whereon his foot may light;
The sed time returnin..g, in his Bill
An Olive leafe he brings, pacific signe: [ 860 ]
Anround appeers, and from his Arke
The a Sire desds with all his Train;
Then with uplifted hands, and eyes devout,
Grateful to Heavn, over his head beholds
A dewie Cloud, and in the Cloud a Bow [ 865 ]
spicuous with three listed cay,
Betokning peace from God, and ant new.
Whereat the heart of Adam erst so sad
Greatly rejoycd, and thus his joy broke forth.
O thou that future things st represent [ 870 ]
As present, Heavnly instructer, I revive
At this last sight, assurd that Man shall live
With all the Creatures, and thir seed preserve.
Farr less I now lament for one whole World
Of wicked Soroyd, then I rejoyce [ 875 ]
For one Man found so perfet and so just,
That God voutsafes to raise an<cite></cite>other World
From him, and all his aet.
