not then mistrust； but tender love enjoynes；
that i should mind thee oft； and mind thou me。

firm we subsist； yet possible to swerve；
since reason not impossibly may meet ＇ 360 ＇
some specious object by the foe subornd；
and fall into deception unaware；
not keeping strictest watch； as she was warnd。
seek not temptation then； which to avoide
were better； and most likelie if from mee ＇ 365 ＇
thou sever not： trial will e unsought。
wouldst thou approve thy constancie； approve
first thy obedience； th other who can know；
not seeing thee attempted； who attest？
but if thou think； trial unsought may finde ＇ 370 ＇
us both securer then thus warnd thou seemst；
go； for thy stay； not free； absents thee more；
go in thy native innocence； relie
on what thou hast of vertue； summon all；
for god towards thee hath done his part； do thine。 ＇ 375 ＇
so spake the patriarch of mankinde； but eve
persisted； yet submiss； though last； replid。
with thy permission then； and thus forewarnd
chiefly by what thy own last reasoning words
touchd onely； that our trial； when least sought； ＇ 380 ＇
may finde us both perhaps farr less prepard；
the willinger i goe； nor much expect
a foe so proud will first the weaker seek；
so bent； the more shall shame him his repulse。
thus saying； from her husbands hand her hand ＇ 385 ＇
soft she withdrew； and like a wood…nymph light
oread or dryad； or of delias traine；
betook her to the groves； but delias self
in gate surpassd and goddess…like deport；
though not as shee with bow and quiver armd； ＇ 390 ＇
but with such gardning tools as art yet rude；
guiltless of fire had formd； or angels brought。
to pales； or pomona； thus adornd；
likeliest she seemd； pomona when she fled
vertumnus； or to ceres in her prime； ＇ 395 ＇
yet virgin of proserpina from jove。
her long with ardent look his eye pursud
delighted； but desiring more her stay。

oft he to her his charge of quick returne
repeated； shee to him as oft engagd ＇ 400 ＇
to be returnd by noon amid the bowre；
and all things in best order to invite
noontide repast； or afternoons repose。
o much deceavd； much failing； hapless eve；
of thy presumd return！ event perverse！ ＇ 405 ＇
thou never from that houre in paradise
foundst either sweet repast； or sound repose；
such ambush hid among sweet flours and shades
waited with hellish rancour imminent
to intercept thy way； or send thee back ＇ 410 ＇
despoild of innocence； of faith； of bliss。
for now； and since first break of dawne the fiend；
meer serpent in appearance； forth was e；
and on his quest； where likeliest he might finde
the onely two of mankinde； but in them ＇ 415 ＇
the whole included race； his purposd prey。
in bowre and field he sought； where any tuft
of grove or garden…plot more pleasant lay；
thir tendance or plantation for delight；
by fountain or by shadie rivulet ＇ 420 ＇
he sought them both； but wishd his hap might find
eve separate； he wishd； but not with hope
of what so seldom chancd； when to his wish；
beyond his hope； eve separate he spies；
veild in a cloud of fragrance； where she stood； ＇ 425 ＇
half spid； so thick the roses bushing round
about her glowd； oft stooping to support
each flour of slender stalk； whose head though gay
carnation； purple； azure； or spect with gold；
hung drooping unsustaind； them she upstaies ＇ 430 ＇
gently with mirtle band； mindless the while；
her self； though fairest unsupported flour；
from her best prop so farr； and storm so nigh。
neerer he drew； and many a walk traversd
of stateliest covert； cedar； pine； or palme； ＇ 435 ＇
then voluble and bold； now hid； now seen
among thick…wovn arborets and flours
imborderd on each bank； the hand of eve：
spot more delicious then those gardens feignd
or of revivd adonis； or renownd ＇ 440 ＇
alcinous； host of old laertes son；
or that； not mystic； where the sapient king
held dalliance with his fair egyptian spouse。
much hee the place admird； the person more。

as one who long in populous city pent； ＇ 445 ＇
where houses thick and sewers annoy the aire；
forth issuing on a summers morn to breathe
among the pleasant villages and farmes
adjoynd； from each thing met conceaves delight；
the smell of grain； or tedded grass； or kine； ＇ 450 ＇
or dairie； each rural sight； each rural sound；
if chance with nymphlike step fair virgin pass；
what pleasing seemd； for her now pleases more；
she most； and in her look summs all delight。
such pleasure took the serpent to behold ＇ 455 ＇
this flourie plat； the sweet recess of eve
thus earlie； thus alone； her heavnly forme
angelic； but more soft； and feminine；
her graceful innocence； her every aire
of gesture or lest action overawd ＇ 460 ＇
his malice； and with rapine sweet bereavd
his fierceness of the fierce intent it brought：
that space the evil one abstracted stood
from his own evil； and for the time remaind
stupidly good； of enmitie disarmd； ＇ 465 ＇
of guile； of hate； of envie； of revenge；
but the hot hell that alwayes in him burnes；
though in mid heavn； soon ended his delight；
and tortures him now more； the more he sees
of pleasure not for him ordaind： then soon ＇ 470 ＇
fierce hate he recollects； and all his thoughts
of mischief； gratulating； thus excites。
thoughts； whither have ye led me； with what sweet
pulsion thus transported to forget
what hither brought us； hate； not love； nor hope ＇ 475 ＇
of paradise for hell； hope here to taste
of pleasure； but all pleasure to destroy；
save what is in destroying； other joy
to me is lost。 then let me not let pass
occasion which now smiles； behold alone ＇ 480 ＇
the woman； opportune to all attempts；
her husband； for i view far round； not nigh；
whose higher intellectual more i shun；
and strength； of courage hautie； and of limb
heroic built； though of terrestrial mould； ＇ 48
