with first approach of light； we must be risn；
and at our pleasant labour； to reform ＇ 625 ＇
yon flourie arbors； yonder allies green；
our walk at noon； with branches overgrown；
that mock our scant manuring； and require
more hands then ours to lop thir wanton growth：
those blossoms also； and those dropping gumms； ＇ 630 ＇
that lie bestrowne unsightly and unsmooth；
ask riddance； if we mean to tread with ease；
mean while； as nature wills； night bids us rest。

unargud i obey； so god ordains；
god is thy law； thou mine： to know no more
is womans happiest knowledge and her praise。
with thee conversing i forget all time；
all seasons and thir change； all please alike。 ＇ 640 ＇

with charm of earliest birds； pleasant the sun

her old possession； and extinguish life

shine not in vain； nor think； though men were none； ＇ 675 ＇
that heavn would want spectators； god want praise；
millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth
unseen； both when we wake； and when we sleep：
all these with ceasless praise his works behold
both day and night： how often from the steep ＇ 680 ＇
of echoing hill or thicket have we heard
celestial voices to the midnight air；
sole； or responsive each to others note
singing thir great creator： oft in bands
while they keep watch； or nightly rounding walk； ＇ 685 ＇
with heavnly touch of instrumental sounds
in full harmonic number joind； thir songs

laurel and mirtle； and what higher grew
of firm and fragrant leaf； on either side ＇ 695 ＇

pan or silvanus never slept； nor nymph；
nor faunus haunted。 here in close recess
with flowers； garlands； and sweet…smelling herbs

and heavnlyly quires the hymen？an sung；
what day the genial angel to our sire
brought her in naked beauty more adornd
more lovely then pandora； whom the gods
