    My voice thou oft hast heard, and hast not feard,

    But still rejoyct, how is it now bee [ 120 ]

    So dreadfu<q>..</q>l to thee? that thou art naked, who

    Hath told thee? hast thou eaten of the Tree

    Whereof I gave thee charge thou shouldst ?

    To whom thus Adam sore beset replid.

    O Heavn! in evil strait this day I stand [ 125 ]

    Before my Judge, either to up://?９9lib.goe

    My self the total Crime, or to accuse

    My other self, the partner of my life;

    Whose failing, while her Faith to me remaines,

    I should ceal, and not expose to blame [ 130 ]

    By my plaint; but striecessitie

    Subdues me, and calamitous straint

    Least on my head both sin and punishment,

    However insupportable, be all

    Devolvd; though should I hold my peace, yet thou [ 135 ]

    Wouldst easily detect what I ceale.

    This Woman whom thou madst to be my help,

    And gavst me as thy perfet gift, so good,

    So fit, so acceptable, so Divine,

    That from her hand I could suspeo ill, [ 140 ]

    And what she did, whatever in it self,

    Her doing seemd to justifie the deed;

    Shee gave me of the Tree, and I did eate.

    To whom the sovran Presehus replid.

    Was sh<tt>..t>ee thy God, that her thou didst obey [ 145 ]

    Before his voice, or was shee made thy guide,

    Superior, or but equal, that to her

    Thou didst resighy Manhood, and the Place

    Wherein God set thee above her made of thee,

    And for thee, whose perfe farr excelld [ 150 ]

    Hers in all real dignitie: Adornd

    She was indeed, and lovely to attract

    Thy Love, not thy Subje, and her Gifts

    Were such as under Gover well seemd,

    Unseemly to beare rule, which was thy part [ 155 ]

    And person, hadst thou known thy self aright.

    So having said, he thus to Eve in few:

    Say Woman, what is this which thou hast done?
