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 ＇
and one bad act with many deeds well done
mayst cover： well may then thy lord appeasd
redeem thee quite from deaths rapacious claime；
but longer in this paradise to dwell
permits not； to remove thee i am e； ＇ 260 ＇
and send thee from the garden forth to till
the ground whence thou wast takn； fitter soile。
he added not； for adam at the newes
heart…strook with chilling gripe of sorrow stood；
that all his senses bound； eve； who unseen ＇ 265 ＇
yet all had heard； with audible lament
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。

lament not eve； but patiently resigne
what justly thou hast lost； nor set thy heart；
thus over…fond； on that which is not thine；
thy going is not lonely； with thee goes ＇ 290 ＇
thy husband； him to follow thou art bound；
where he abides； think there thy native soile。
adam by this from the cold sudden damp
recovering； and his scatterd spirits returnd；
to michael thus his humble words addressd。 ＇ 295 ＇
celestial； whether among the thrones； or namd
of them the highest； for such of shape may seem
prince above princes； gently hast thou tould
thy message； which might else in telling wound；
and in performing end us； what besides ＇ 300 ＇
of sorrow and dejection and despair
our frailtie can sustain； thy tidings bring；
departure from this happy place； our sweet
recess； and onely consolation left
familiar to our eyes； all places else ＇ 305 ＇
inhospitable appeer and desolate；
nor knowing us nor known： and if by prayer
incessant i could hope to change the will
of him who all things can； i would not cease
to wearie him with my assiduous cries： ＇ 310 ＇
but prayer against his absolute decree
no more availes then breath against the winde；
blown stifling back on him that breaths it forth：
therefore to his great bidding i submit。
this most afflicts me； that departing hence； ＇ 315 ＇
as from his face i shall be hid； deprivd
his blessed countnance； here i could frequent；
with worship； place by place where he voutsafd
presence divine； and to my sons relate；
on this mount he appeerd； under this tree ＇ 320 ＇
stood visible； among these pines his voice
i heard； here with him at this fountain talkd：
so many grateful altars i would reare
of grassie terfe； and pile up every stone
of lustre from the brook； in memorie； ＇ 325 ＇
or monument to ages； and thereon
offer sweet smelling gumms and fruits and flours：
in yonder nether world where shall i seek
his bright appearances； or foot step…trace？

for though i fled him angrie； yet recalld ＇ 330 ＇
to life prolongd and promisd race； i now
gladly behold though but his utmost skirts
of glory； and farr off his steps adore。
to whom thus michael with regard benigne。
adam； thou knowst heavn his； and all the earth。 ＇ 335 ＇
not this rock onely； his omnipresence fills
land； sea； and aire； and every kinde that lives；
fomented by his virtual power and warmd：
all th earth he gave thee to possess and rule；
no despicable gift； surmise not then ＇ 340 ＇
his presence to these narrow bounds confind
of paradise or eden： this had been
perhaps thy capital seate； from whence had spred
all generations； and had hither e
from all the ends of th earth； to celebrate ＇ 345 ＇
and reverence thee thir great progenitor。
but this pr？eminence thou hast lost； brought down
to dwell on eeven ground now with thy sons：
yet doubt not but in vallie and in plaine
god is as here； and will be found alike ＇ 350 ＇

still following thee； still passing thee round
with goodness and paternal love； his face

which that thou mayst beleeve； and be confirmd ＇ 355 ＇
ere thou from hence depart； know i am sent
to shew thee what shall e in future dayes
to thee and to thy ofspring； good with bad
expect to hear； supernal grace contending
with sinfulness of men； thereby to learn ＇ 360 ＇
true patience； and to temper joy with fear
and pious sorrow； equally enurd
by moderation either state to beare；
prosperous or adverse： so shalt thou lead
safest thy life； and best prepard endure ＇ 365 ＇

this hill； let eve （for i have drencht her eyes）
here sleep below while thou to foresight wakst；
as once thou slepst； while shee to life was formd。
