Nor those mysterious parts were then ceald,Then was not guiltie shame, disho shame
Of natures works, honor dishonorable,
Sin-bred, how have ye troubld all mankind [ 315 ]
With shews instead, meer shews of seeming pure,
And banisht from mans life his happiest life,
Simplicitie and spotless innoce.
So passd they naked on, nor shund the sight
Of Gel, for they thought no ill: [ 320 ]
So hand in hand they passd, the lovliest pair
That ever sin loves imbraces met,
Adam the goodliest man of men since borne
His Sons, the fairest of her Daughters Eve.
Under a tuft of shade that on a green [ 325 ]
Stood whispering soft, by a fresh Fountain side
They sat them down, and after no more toil
Of thir sweet Gardning labour then sufficd
To reend coole Zephyr, and made ease
More easie, wholsom thirst and appetite [ 330 ]
Mrateful, to thir Supper Fruits they fell,
arine Fruits which the pliant boughes
Yielded them, side-long as they sat ree
On the soft downie Bank damaskt with flours:
The savourie pulp they chew, and in the rinde [ 335 ]
Still as they thirsted scoop the brimming stream;
Nentle purpose, nor endearing smiles
Wanted, nor youthful dalliance as beseems
Fair couple, linkt in happie nuptial League,
Alone as they. About them frisking playd [ 340 ]
All Beasts of th Earth, since wilde, and of all chase
In Wood or Wilderness, Forrest or Den;
Sp the Lion rampd, and in his paw
Dandld the Kid; Bears, Tygers, Ounces, Pards
Gambold before them, th unwieldy Elephant [ 345 ]
To make them mirth usd all his might, and wreathd
His Lithe Proboscis; close the Serpent sly
Insinuating, wove with Gordian twine
His breaded train, and of his fatal guile
Gave proof unheeded; others on the grass [ 350 ]
Coucht, and now fild with pasture gazing sat,
Or Bedward ruminating: for the Sun
Ded was hasting now with prone carreer
To th O Iles, and in th asding Scale
Of Heavarrs that usher Evening rose: [ 355 ]
When Satan still in gaze, as first he stood,
Scarce thus at length faild speech recoverd sad.
O Hell! what doe mine eyes with grief behold,
Into our room of bliss thus high advanct
Creatures of other mould, earth-born perhaps, [ 360 ]
Not Spir<cite>藏书网</cite>its, yet to heavnly Spirits bright
Little inferior; whom my thoughts pursue
With wonder, and could love, so lively shines
In them Divine resemblance, and such grace
The hand that formd them on thir shape hath pourd. [ 365 ]
Ah gentle pair, yee little think how nigh
Your ge approaches, when all these delights
Will vanish and deliver ye to woe,
More woe, the more your taste is now of joy;
Happie, but for so happie ill securd [ 370 ]
Long to tinue, and this high seat your Heavn
Ill fenct for Heavn to keep out such a foe
As now is enterd; yet no purposd foe
To you whom I could pittie thus forlorne
Though I unpittied: League with you I seek, [ 375 ]
And mutual amitie sht, so close,
That I with you must dwell, or you with me
Heh; my dwelling haply may not please
Like this fair Paradise, your sense, yet such
Accept your Ma<cite>.９９lｉb.</cite>kers work; he gave it me, [ 380 ]
Which I as freely give; Hell shall unfold,
To eain you two, her widest Gates,
And send forth all her Kings; there will be room,
Not like these narrow limits, to receive
Your numerous ; if er place, [ 385 ]
Thank him who puts me loath to this revenge
On you wh me not for him whd.
