    I rose as at thy call, but found thee not;

    To find thee I directed then my walk;

    <tt>藏书网</tt>And ohought, alone I passd through ways [ 50 ]

    That brought me on a sudden to the Tree

    Of interdicted Knowledge: fair it seemd,

    Much fairer to my Fahen by day:

    And as I w lookt, beside it stood

    One shapd and wingd like one <q></q>of those from Heavn [ 55 ]

    By us oft seen; his dewie locks distilld

    Ambrosia; on that Tree he also gazd;

    And O fair Plant, said he, with fruit surchargd,

    Deigns o ease thy load and taste thy sweet,

    Nod, nor Man; is Knowledge so despisd? [ 60 ]

    Or envie, or what reserve forbids to taste?

    Forbid who will, none shall from me withhold

    Lohy ood, why else set here?

    This said he pausd not, but with ventrous Arme

    He pluckt, he tasted; mee damp horror child [ 65 ]

    At such bold words voucht with a deed so bold:

    But he thus overjoyd, O Fruit Divine,

    Sweet of thy self, but much more sweet thus cropt,

    Forbiddn here, it seems, as onely fit

    Fods, yet able to make Gods of Men: [ 70 ]

    And why not Gods of Men, since good, the more

    unicated, more abundant growes,

    The Author not impaird, but honourd more?

    Here, happie Creatu?９９ｌiｂ?re, fair Angelic Eve,

    Partake thou also; happie though thou art, [ 75 ]

    Happier thou mayst be, worthier st not be:

    Taste this, and be heh among the Gods

    Thy self a Goddess, not to Earth find,

    But somtimes in the Air, as wee, somtimes

    Asd to Heavn, by merit thine, and see [ 80 ]

    What life the Gods live .here, and such live thou.

    So saying, he drew nigh, and to me held,

    Even to my mouth of that same fruit held part

    Which he had pluckt; the pleasant savourie smell

    So quid appetite, that I, methought, [ 85 ]

    Could not but taste. Forthwith up to the Clouds

    With him I flew, and underh beheld

    The Earth outstretcht immense, a prospect wide

    And various: w at my flight and ge

    To this high exaltation; suddenly [ 90 ]

    My Guide was gon, and I, me thought, sunk down,

    And fell asleep; but O how glad I wakd

    To find this but a dream! Thus Eve her Night

    Related, and thus Adam answerd sad.
