her her out-side formd so fair, nhtIn procreation on to all kindes
(Though higher of the genial Bed by far,
And with mysterious reverence I deem)
So much delights me as those graceful acts, [ 600 ]
Those thousand decies that daily flow
From all her words and aixt with Love
And sweet pliance, which declare unfeignd
Union of Mind, or in us both one Soule;
Harmoo behold in wedded pair [ 605 ]
Mrateful then harmonious sound to the eare.
Yet these subjeot; I to thee disclose
What inward thence I feel, not therefore foild,
Who meet with various objects, from the sense
Variously representing; yet still free [ 610 ]
Approve the best, and follow what I approve.
To Love thou blamst me not, for love thou saist
Leads up to Heavn, is both the way and guide;
Bear with me then, if lawful what I ask;
Love not the heavnly Spirits, and how thir Love [ 615 ]
Express they, by looks onely, or do they mix
Irradiance, virtual or immediate touch?
To whom the Angel with a smile that glowd
Celestial rosie red, Loves proper hue,
Answerd. Let it suffice thee that thou knowst [ 620 ]
Us happie, and without Love no happiness.
Whatever pure thou in the body enjoyst
(And pure thou wert created) we enjoy
In eminence, and obstacle find none
Of membrane, joynt, or limb, exclusive barrs: [ 625 ]
Easier then Air with Air, if Spirits embrace,
Total they mix, Union of Pure with Pure
Desiring; nor restraind veyaneed
As Flesh to mix with Flesh, or Soul with Soul.
But I ow no more; the parting Sun [ 630 ]
Beyond the Earths green Cape<cite></cite> and verdant Isles
Hespereas, my Signal to depart.
Be strong, live happie, and love, but first of all
Him whom to love is to obey, and keep
His great and; take heed lest Passion sway [ 635 ]
Thy Judgment to do aught, which else free Will
Would not admit; thine and of all thy Sons
The weal or woe in thee is plact; beware.
I in thy persevering shall rejoyce,
And all the Blest: stand fast; to stand or fall [ 640 ]
Free in thine own Arbitrement it liebbr></abbr>s.
Perfet within, no outward aid require<tt></tt>;
And all temptation tress repel.
So saying, he arose; whom Adam thus
Followd with beion. Sio part, [ 645 ]
Go heavenly Guest, Ethereal Messenger,
Sent from whose soodness I adore.
Geo me and affable hath been
Thy dession, and shall be honourd ever
With grateful Memorie: tho<q>９9lｉb.</q>u to mankind [ 650 ]
Be good and friendly still, and oft return.
So parted they, the Angel up to Heavn
From the thick shade, and Adam to his Bowre.
