out of despaire； joy； but with fear yet linkt；
which thus to eve his wele words renewd。 ＇ 140 ＇
eve； easily may faith admit； that all
the good which we enjoy； from heavn descends；
but that from us ought should ascend to heavn
so prevalent as to concerne the mind
of god high…blest； or to incline his will； ＇ 145 ＇
hard to belief may seem； yet this will prayer；
or one short sigh of humane breath； up…borne
evn to the seat of god。 for since i saught
by prayer th offended deitie to appease；
kneeld and before him humbld all my heart； ＇ 150 ＇
methought i saw him placable and mild；
bending his eare； perswasion in me grew
that i was heard with favour； peace returnd
home to my brest； and to my memorie
his promise； that thy seed shall bruise our foe； ＇ 155 ＇
which then not minded in dismay； yet now
assures me that the bitterness of death
is past； and we shall live。 whence haile to thee；
eve rightly calld； mother of all mankind；
mother of all things living； since by thee ＇ 160 ＇
man is to live； and all things live for man。
to whom thus eve with sad demeanour meek。

ill worthie i such title should belong
to me transgressour； who for thee ordaind
a help； became thy snare； to mee reproach ＇ 165 ＇
rather belongs； distrust and all dispraise：
but infinite in pardon was my judge；
that i who first brought death on all； am gract
the sourse of life； next favourable thou；
who highly thus to entitle me voutsafst； ＇ 170 ＇
farr other name deserving。 but the field
to labour calls us now with sweat imposd；
though after sleepless night； for see the morn；
all unconcernd with our unrest； begins
her rosie progress smiling； let us forth； ＇ 175 ＇
i never from thy side henceforth to stray；
wherere our days work lies； though now enjoind
laborious； till day droop； while here we dwell；
what can be toilsom in these pleasant walkes？
here let us live； though in falln state； content。 ＇ 180 ＇
so spake； so wishd much…humbld eve； but fate
subscribd not； nature first gave signs； imprest
on bird； beast； aire； aire suddenly eclipsd
after short blush of morn； nigh in her sight
the bird of jove； stoopt from his aerie tour； ＇ 185 ＇
two birds of gayest plume before him drove：
down from a hill the beast that reigns in woods；
first hunter then； pursud a gentle brace；
goodliest of all the forrest； hart and hinde；
direct to th eastern gate was bent thir flight。 ＇ 190 ＇
adam observd； and with his eye the chase
pursuing； not unmovd to eve thus spake。
o eve； some furder change awaits us nigh；
which heavn by these mute signs in nature shews
forerunners of his purpose； or to warn ＇ 195 ＇
us haply too secure of our discharge
from penaltie； because from death releast
some days； how long； and what till then our life；
who knows； or more then this； that we are dust；
and thither must return and be no more。 ＇ 200 ＇

why else this double object in our sight
of flight pursud in th air and ore the ground
one way the self…same hour？ why in the east
darkness ere dayes mid…course； and morning light

a glorious apparition； had not doubt
and carnal fear that day dimmd adams eye。
not that more glorious； when the angels met
jacob in mahanaim； where he saw
the field paviliond with his guardians bright； ＇ 215 ＇
nor that which on the flaming mount appeerd
in dothan； coverd with a camp of fire；
against the syrian king； who to surprize
one man； assassin…like had levied warr；
warr unproclamd。 the princely hierarch ＇ 220 ＇
in thir bright stand； there left his powers to seise
possession of the garden； hee alone；
to find where adam shelterd； took his way；
not unperceavd of adam； who to eve；
while the great visitant approachd； thus spake。 ＇ 225 ＇
eve； now expect great tidings； which perhaps
of us will soon determin； or impose
new laws to be observd； for i descrie
from yonder blazing cloud that veils the hill
one of the heavnly host； and by his gate ＇ 230 ＇
none of the meanest； some great potentate
or of the thrones above； such majestie
invests him ing？ yet not terrible；
that i should fear； nor sociably mild；
as raphael； that i should much confide； ＇ 235 ＇
but solemn and sublime； whom not to offend；
with reverence i must meet； and thou retire。

not in his shape celestial； but as man
clad to meet man； over his lucid armes ＇ 240 ＇
a militarie vest of purple flowd
livelier then melib？an； or the graine
of sarra； worn by kings and heros old
in time of truce； iris had dipt the wooff；
his starrie helme unbuckld shewd him prime ＇ 245 ＇
in manhood where youth ended； by his side
as in a glistering zodiac hung the sword；
satans dire dread； and in his hand the spear。
adam bowd low； hee kingly from his state
inclind not； but his ing thus declard。 ＇ 250 ＇
adam； heavns high behest no preface needs：
sufficient that thy prayers are heard； and death；
then due by sentence when thou didst transgress；
defeated of his seisure many dayes
givn thee of grace； wherein thou mayst repent； ＇ 255 ＇

mayst cover： well may then thy lord appeasd

discoverd soon the place of her retire。
o unexpected stroke； worse then of death！
must i thus leave thee paradise？ thus leave
thee native soile； these happie walks and shades； ＇ 270 ＇
fit haunt of gods？ where i had hope to spend；
quiet though sad； the respit of that day
that must be mortal to us both。 o flours；
that never will in other climate grow；
my early visitation； and my last ＇ 275 ＇
at eevn； which i bred up with tender hand
from the first opning bud； and gave ye names；
who now shall reare ye to the sun； or ranke
your tribes； and water from th ambrosial fount？
thee lastly nuptial bowre； by mee adornd ＇ 280 ＇
with what to sight or smell was sweet； from thee
how shall i part； and whither wander down
into a lower world； to this obscure
and wilde； how shall we breath in other aire
less pure； accustomd to immortal fruits？ ＇ 285 ＇
whom thus the angel interrupted milde。
