    Oft he to her his charge of quick returne

    Repeated, shee to him as oft engagd [ 400 ]

    To be returnd by Noon amid..he Bowre,

    And all things i order to invite

    Noontide repast, or Afternoons repose.

    O much deceavd, much failing, hapless Eve,

    Of thy presumd retur perverse! [ 405 ]

    Thou never from that houre in Paradise

    Foundst either sweet repast, or sound repose;

    Such ambush hid among sweet Flours and Shades

    Waited with hellish rancour immi

    To intercept thy way, or send thee back [ 410 ]

    Despoild of Innoce, of Faith, of Bliss.

    For now, and since first break of dawhe Fiend,

    Meer Serpent in appearance, forth was e,

    And on his Quest, where likeliest he might finde

    The owo of Mankinde, but in them [ 415 ]

    The whole included Race, his purposd prey.

    In Bowre and Field he sought, where any tuft

    Of Grove arden-Plot more pleasant lay,

    Thir tendance or Plantation for delight,

    By Fountain or by shadie Rivulet [ 420 ]

    He sought them both, but wishd his hap might find

    Eve separate, he wishd, but not with hope

    Of what so seldom cd, when to his wish,

    Beyond his hope, Eve separate he spies,

    Veild in a Cloud rance, where she stood, [ 425 ]

    Half spid, so thick the Roses bushing round

    About her glowd, oft stooping to support

    Each Flour of slealk, whose head though gay

    ation, Purple, Azure, or spect with Gold,

    Hung drooping unsustaind, them she upstaies [ 430 ]

    Gently with Mirtle ba<tt></tt>nd, mihe while,

    Her self, though fairest unsuppo９9lｉｂ.ed Flour,

    From her best prop so farr, and storm so nigh.

    Neerer he drew, and many a walk traversd

    Of stateliest Covert, Cedar, Pine, or Palme, [ 435 ]

    Then voluble and bold, now hid, now seen

    Among thick-wovn Arborets and Flours

    Imborderd on each Bank, the hand of Eve:

    Spot more delicious then those Gardens feignd

    Or of revivd Adonis, or renownd [ 440 ]

    Alous, host of old Laertes Son,

    Or that, not Mystic, where the Sapient King

    Held dalliah his fair Egyptian Spouse.

    Much hee the Place admird, the Person more.
