THE ARGUMENT
gxiaoshuowang
morning approacht； eve relates to adam her troublesome dream； he likes it not； yet forts her： they e forth to thir day labours： thir morning hymn at the door of thir bower。 god to render man inexcusable sends raphael to admonish him of his obedience； of his free estate； of his enemy near at hand； who he is； and why his enemy； and whatever else may avail adam to know。 raphael es down to paradise； his appearance describd； his ing discernd by adam afar off sitting at the door of his bower； he goes out to meet him； brings him to his lodge； entertains him with the choycest fruits of paradise got together by eve； thir discourse at table： raphael performs his message； minds adam of his state and of his enemy； relates at adams request who that enemy is； and how he came to be so； beginning from his first revolt in heaven； and the occasion thereof； how he drew his legions after him to the parts of the north； and there incited them to rebel with him； perswading all but only abdiel a seraph； who in argument diswades and opposes him； then forsakes him。

now morn her rosie steps in th eastern clime
advancing； sowd the earth with orient pearle；
when adam wakt； so customd； for his sleep
was aerie light； from pure digestion bred；
and temperat vapors bland； which th only sound ＇ 5 ＇
of leaves and fuming rills； auroras fan；
lightly dispersd； and the shrill matin song
of birds on every bough； so much the more
his wonder was to find unwaknd eve
with tresses disposd； and glowing cheek； ＇ 10 ＇
as through unquiet rest： he on his side
leaning half…raisd； with looks of cordial love
hung over her enamourd； and beheld
beautie； which whether waking or asleep；
shot forth peculiar graces； then with voice ＇ 15 ＇
milde； as when zephyrus on flora breathes；
her hand soft touching； whisperd thus。 awake
my fairest； my espousd； my latest found；
heavns last best gift； my ever new delight；
awake； the morning shines； and the fresh field ＇ 20 ＇
calls us； we lose the prime； to mark how spring
our tended plants； how blows the citron grove；
what drops the myrrhe； and what the balmie reed；
how nature paints her colours； how the bee
sits on the bloom extracting liquid sweet。 ＇ 25 ＇
such whispering wakd her； but with startld eye
on adam； whom imbracing； thus she spake。
o sole in whom my thoughts find all repose；
my glorie； my perfection； glad i see
thy face； and morn returnd； for i this night； ＇ 30 ＇
such night till this i never passd； have dreamd；
if dreamd； not as i oft am wont； of thee；
works of day passt； or morrows next designe；
but of offense and trouble； which my mind
knew never till this irksom night； methought ＇ 35 ＇
close at mine ear one calld me forth to walk
with gentle voice； i thought it thine； it said；
why sleepst thou eve？ now is the pleasant time；
the cool； the silent； save where silence yields
to the night…warbling bird； that now awake ＇ 40 ＇
tunes sweetest his love…labord song； now reignes
full orbd the moon； and with more pleasing light
shadowie sets off the face of things； in vain；
if none regard； heavn wakes with all his eyes；
whom to behold but thee； natures desire； ＇ 45 ＇
in whose sight all things joy； with ravishment
attracted by thy beauty still to gaze。

i rose as at thy call； but found thee not；
to find thee i directed then my walk；
and on； methought； alone i passd through ways ＇ 50 ＇
that brought me on a sudden to the tree
of interdicted knowledge： fair it seemd；
much fairer to my fancie then by day：
and as i wondring lookt； beside it stood
one shapd and wingd like one of those from heavn ＇ 55 ＇
by us oft seen； his dewie locks distilld
ambrosia； on that tree he also gazd；
and o fair plant； said he； with fruit surchargd；
deigns none to ease thy load and taste thy sweet；
nor god； nor man； is knowledge so despisd？ ＇ 60 ＇
or envie； or what reserve forbids to taste？
forbid who will； none shall from me withhold
longer thy offerd good； why else set here？
this said he pausd not； but with ventrous arme
he pluckt； he tasted； mee damp horror child ＇ 65 ＇
at such bold words voucht with a deed so bold：
but he thus overjoyd； o fruit divine；
sweet of thy self； but much more sweet thus cropt；
forbiddn here； it seems； as onely fit
for gods； yet able to make gods of men： ＇ 70 ＇
and why not gods of men； since good； the more
municated； more abundant growes；
the author not impaird； but honourd more？
here； happie creature； fair angelic eve；
partake thou also； happie though thou art； ＇ 75 ＇
happier thou mayst be； worthier canst not be：
taste this； and be henceforth among the gods
thy self a goddess； not to earth confind；
but somtimes in the air； as wee； somtimes
ascend to heavn； by merit thine； and see ＇ 80 ＇
what life the gods live there； and such live thou。
so saying； he drew nigh； and to me held；
even to my mouth of that same fruit held part
which he had pluckt； the pleasant savourie smell
so quicknd appetite； that i； methought； ＇ 85 ＇
could not but taste。 forthwith up to the clouds
with him i flew； and underneath beheld
the earth outstretcht immense； a prospect wide
and various： wondring at my flight and change
to this high exaltation； suddenly ＇ 90 ＇
my guide was gon； and i； me thought； sunk down；
and fell asleep； but o how glad i wakd
to find this but a dream！ thus eve her night
related； and thus adam answerd sad。

best image of my self and dearer half； ＇ 95 ＇
the trouble of thy thoughts this night in sleep
affects me equally； nor can i like
this uncouth dream； of evil sprung i fear；
yet evil whence？ in thee can harbour none；
created pure。 but know that in the soule ＇ 100 ＇
are many lesser faculties that serve
reason as chief； among these fansie next
her office holds； of all external things；
which the five watchful senses represent；
she forms imaginations； aerie shapes； ＇ 105 ＇
which reason joyning or disjoyning； frames
all what we affirm or what deny； and call
our knowledge or opinion； then retires
into her private cell when nature rests。
oft in her absence mimic fansie wakes ＇ 110 ＇
to imitate her； but misjoyning shapes；
wilde work produces oft； and most in dreams；
ill matching words and deeds long past or late。
som such resemblances methinks i find
of our last eevnings talk； in this thy dream； ＇ 115 ＇
but with addition strange； yet be not sad。
evil into the mind of god or man
may e and go； so unapprovd； and leave
no spot or blame behind： which gives me hope
that what in sleep thou didst abhorr to dream； ＇ 120 ＇
waking thou never wilt consent to do。
be not disheartnd then； nor cloud those looks
that wont to be more chearful and serene
then when fair morning first smiles on the world；
and let us to our fresh imployments rise ＇ 125 ＇
among the groves； the fountains； and the flours
that open now thir choicest bosomd smells
reservd from night； and kept for thee in store。
so cheard he his fair spouse； and she was cheard；
but silently a gentle tear let fall ＇ 130 ＇
from either eye； and wipd them with her haire；
two other precious drops that ready stood；
each in thir chrystal sluce； hee ere they fell
kissd as the gracious signs of sweet remorse
and pious awe； that feard to have offended。 ＇ 135 ＇
so all was cleard； and to the field they haste。

but first from under shadie arborous roof；
soon as they forth were e to open sight
of day…spring； and the sun； who scarce up risen
with wheels yet hovring ore the ocean brim； ＇ 140 ＇
shot paralel to the earth his dewie ray；
discovering in wide lantskip all the east
of paradise and edens happie plains；
lowly they bowd adoring； and began
thir orisons； each morning duly paid ＇ 145 ＇
in various style； for neither various style
nor holy rapture wanted they to praise
thir maker； in fit strains pronounct or sung
unmeditated； such prompt eloquence
flowd from thir lips； in prose or numerous verse； ＇ 150 ＇
more tuneable then needed lute or harp
to add more sweetness； and they thus began。
these are thy glorious works； parent of good；
almightie； thine this universal frame；
thus wondrous fair； thy self how wondrous then！ ＇ 155 ＇
unspeakable； who sitst above these heavens
to us invisible or dimly seen
in these thy lowest works； yet these declare
thy goodness beyond thought； and power divine：
speak yee who best can tell； ye sons of light； ＇ 160 ＇
angels； for yee behold him； and with songs
and choral symphonies； day without night；
circle his throne rejoycing； yee in heavn；
on earth joyn all ye creatures to extoll
him first； him last； him midst； and without end。 ＇ 165 ＇
fairest of starrs； last in the train of night；
if better thou belong not to the dawn；
sure pledge of day； that crownst the smiling morn
with thy bright circlet； praise him
