By thee adulterous lust was drivn from menAmong the bestial herds te, by thee
Founded in Reason, Loyal, Just, and Pure, [ 755 ]
Relations dear, and all the Charities
Of Father, Son, and Brother first were known.
Farr be it, that I should write thee sin or blame,
Or think thee uing holiest place,
Perpetual Fountain of Domestic sweets, [ 76<cite>.</cite>0 ]
Whose bed is undefild and cha<bdo>藏书网</bdo>ste pronounct,
Present, or past, as Saints and Patriarchs usd.
Here Love his golden shafts imploies, here lights
His stant Lamp, and waves his purple wings,
Reigns here and<var></var> revels; not in the bought smile [ 765 ]
Of Harlots, loveless, joyless, unindeard,
Casual fruition, nor in Court Amours
Mixt Dance, or wanton Mask, or Midnight Bal,
Or Serenate, which the starvd Lover sings
To his proud fair, best quitted with disdain. [ 770 ]
These lulld by Nightingales imbrag slept,
And on thir naked limbs the <s>?９９ｌｉb.</s>flourie roof
Showrd Roses, which the Morn repaird. Sleep on
Blest pair; and O yet happiest if ye seek
No happier state, and know to know no more. [ 775 ]
Now had night measurd with her shaddowie e
Half Hill this vast Sublunar Vault,
And from thir Ivorie Port the Cherubim
Forth issuing at th acd hour stood armd
To thir night watches in warlike Parade, [ 780 ]
When Gabriel to his in power thus spake.
Uzziel, half these draw off, and coast the South
With strictest watch; these other wheel the North,
Our circuit meets full West. As flame they part
Half wheeling to the Shield, half to the Spear. [ 785 ]
From these, tw and suttle Spirits he calld
That neer him stood, and gave them thus in charge.
Ithuriel and Zephbbr>藏书网</abbr>on, with wingd speed
Search through this Garden, leave unsearo nook,
But chiefly where those two fair Creatures Lodge, [ 790 ]
Noerhaps asleep secure of harme.
