to do what god expresly hath forbid;
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; ' 485 '
foe not informidable; exempt from wound;
i not; so much hath hell debasd; and paine
infeebld me; to what i was in heavn。

shee fair; divinely fair; fit love for gods;
not terrible; though terrour be in love ' 490 '
and beautie; not approacht by stronger hate;
hate stronger; under shew of love well feignd;
the way which to her ruin now i tend。
so spake the enemie of mankind; enclosd
in serpent; inmate bad; and toward eve ' 495 '
addressd his way; not with indented wave;
prone on the ground; as since; but on his reare;
circular base of rising foulds; that tourd
fould above fould a surging maze; his head
crested aloft; and carbuncle his eyes; ' 500 '
with burnisht neck of verdant gold; erect
amidst his circling spires; that on the grass
floted redundant: pleasing was his shape;
and lovely; never since of serpent kind
lovelier; not those that in illyria changd ' 505 '
hermione and cadmus; or the god
in epidaurus; nor to which transformd
ammonian jove; or capitoline was seen;
hee with olympias; this with her who bore
scipio the highth of rome 。 with tract oblique ' 510 '
at first; as one who sought access; but feard
to interrupt; side…long he works his way。
as when a ship by skilful stearsman wrought
nigh rivers mouth or foreland; where the wind
veres oft; as oft so steers; and shifts her saile; ' 515 '
so varied hee; and of his tortuous traine
curld many a wanton wreath in sight of eve;
to lure her eye; shee busied heard the sound
of rusling leaves; but minded not; as usd
to such disport before her through the field; ' 520 '
from every beast; more duteous at her call;
then at circean call the herd disguisd。
hee boulder now; uncalld before her stood;
but as in gaze admiring: oft he bowd
his turret crest; and sleek enameld neck; ' 525 '
fawning; and lickd the ground whereon she trod。
his gentle dumb expression turnd at length
the eye of eve to mark his play; he glad
of her attention gaind; with serpent tongue
organic; or impulse of vocal air; ' 530 '
his fraudulent temptation thus began。

wonder not; sovran mistress; if perhaps
thou canst; who art sole wonder; much less arm
thy looks; the heavn of mildness; with disdain;
displeasd that i approach thee thus; and gaze ' 535 '
insatiate; i thus single; nor have feard
thy awful brow; more awful thus retird。
fairest resemblance of thy maker faire;
thee all things living gaze on; all things thine
by gift; and thy celestial beautie adore ' 540 '
with ravishment beheld; there best beheld
where universally admird; but here
in this enclosure wild; these beasts among;
beholders rude; and shallow to discerne
half what in thee is fair; one man except; ' 545 '
who sees thee? (and what is one?) who shouldst be seen
a goddess among gods; adord and servd
by angels numberless; thy daily train。
