she was indeed; and lovely to attract

thy love; not thy subjection; and her gifts

were such as under government well seemd;

unseemly to beare rule; which was thy part ' 155 '

and person; hadst thou known thy self aright。

so having said; he thus to eve in few:

say woman; what is this which thou hast done?

to whom sad eve with shame nigh overwhelmd;

confessing soon; yet not before her judge ' 160 '

bold or loquacious; thus abasht replid。

the serpent me beguild and i did eate。

which when the lord god heard; without delay

to judgement he proceeded on th accusd

serpent though brute; unable to transferre ' 165 '

the guilt on him who made him instrument

of mischief; and polluted from the end

of his creation; justly then accurst;

as vitiated in nature: more to know

concernd not man (since he no further knew) ' 170 '

nor alterd his offence; yet god at last

to satan first in sin his doom applyd

though in mysterious terms; judgd as then best:

and on the serpent thus his curse let fall。

because thou hast done this; thou art accurst ' 175 '

above all cattle; each beast of the field;

upon thy belly groveling thou shalt goe;

and dust shalt eat all the dayes of thy life。

between thee and the woman i will put

enmitie; and between thine and her seed; ' 180 '

her seed shall bruise thy head; thou bruise his heel。

so spake this oracle; then verifid

when jesus son of mary second eve;

saw satan fall like lightning down from heavn;

prince of the aire; then rising from his grave ' 185 '

spoild principalities and powers; triumpht

in open shew; and with ascention bright

captivity led captive through the aire;

the realm it self of satan long usurpt;

whom he shall tread at last under our feet; ' 190 '

eevn hee who now foretold his fatal bruise;

and to the woman thus his sentence turnd。

thy sorrow i will greatly multiplie

by thy conception; children thou shalt bring

in sorrow forth; and to thy husbands will ' 195 '

thine shall submit; hee over thee shall rule。

on adam last thus judgement he pronouncd。

Paradise Lost Ⅹ6


because thou hast hearknd to the voice of thy wife;

and eaten of the tree concerning which

i chargd thee; saying: thou shalt not eate thereof; ' 200 '

cursd is the ground for thy sake; thou in sorrow

shalt eate thereof all the days of thy life;

thorns also and thistles it shall bring thee forth

unbid; and thou shalt eate th herb of th field;

in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread; ' 205 '

till thou return unto the ground; for thou

out of the ground wast taken; know thy birth;

for dust thou art; and shalt to dust returne。

so judgd he man; both judge and saviour sent;

and th instant stroke of death denounct that day ' 210 '

removd farr off; then pittying how they stood

before him naked to the aire; that now

must suffer change; disdaind not to begin

thenceforth the form of servant to assume;

as when he washd his servants feet so now ' 215 '

as father of his familie he clad

thir nakedness with skins of beasts; or slain;

or as the snake with youthful coate repaid;

and thought not much to cloath his enemies:

nor hee thir outward onely with the skins ' 220 '

of beasts; but inward nakedness; much more

opprobrious; with his robe of righteousness;

araying coverd from his fathers sight。

to him with swift ascent he up returnd;

into his blissful bosom reassumd ' 225 '

in glory as of old; to him appeasd

all; though all…knowing; what had past with man

recounted; mixing intercession sweet。

meanwhile ere thus was sind and judgd on earth;

within the gates of hell sate sin and death; ' 230 '

in counterview within the gates; that now

stood open wide; belching outrageous flame

farr into chaos; since the fiend passd through;

sin opening; who thus now to death began。

o son; why sit we here each other viewing ' 235 '

idlely; while satan our great author thrives

in other worlds; and happier seat provides

for us his ofspring deare? it cannot be

but that success attends him; if mishap;

ere this he had returnd; with fury drivn ' 240 '

by his avengers; since no place like this

can fit his punishment; or their revenge。

methinks i feel new strength within me rise;

wings growing; and dominion givn me large

beyond this deep; whatever drawes me on; ' 245 '

or sympathie; or som connatural force

powerful at greatest distance to unite

with secret amity things of like kinde

by secretest conveyance。 thou my shade

inseparable must with mee along: ' 250 '

for death from sin no power can separate。

but least the difficultie of passing back

stay his return perhaps over this gulfe

impassable; impervious; let us try

adventrous work; yet to thy power and mine ' 255 '

not unagreeable; to found a path

over this maine from hell to that new world

where satan now prevailes; a monument

of merit high to all th infernal host;

easing thir passage hence; for intercourse; ' 260 '

or transmigration; as thir lot shall lead。

nor can i miss the way; so strongly drawn

by this new felt attraction and instinct。

whom thus the meager shadow answerd soon。

goe whither fate and inclination strong ' 265 '

leads thee; i shall not lag behinde; nor erre

the way; thou leading; such a sent i draw

of carnage; prey innumerable; and taste

the savour of death from all things there that live:

nor shall i to the work thou enterprisest ' 270 '

be wanting; but afford thee equal aid;

so saying; with delight he snuffd the smell

of mortal change on earth。 as when a flock

of ravenous fowl; though many a league remote;

against the day of battel; to a field; ' 275 '

where armies lie encampt; e flying; lurd

with sent of living carcasses designd

for death; the following day; in bloodie fight。

so sented the grim feature; and upturnd

his nostril wide into the murkie air; ' 280 '

sagacious of his quarry from so farr。

then both from out hell gates into the waste

wide anarchie of chaos damp and dark

flew divers; and with power (thir power was great)

hovering upon the waters; what they met ' 285 '

solid or slimie; as in raging sea

tost up and down; together crowded drove

from each side shoaling towards the mouth of hell。

as when two polar winds blowing adverse

upon the cronian sea; together drive ' 290 '

mountains of ice; that stop th imagind way

beyond petsora eastward; to the rich

cathaian coast。 the aggregated soyle

death with his mace petrific; cold and dry;

as with a trident smote; and fixt as firm ' 295 '

as delos floating once; the rest his look

bound with gorgonian rigor not to move;

and with asphaltic slime; broad as the gate;

deep to the roots of hell the gatherd beach

they fastend; and the mole immense wraught on ' 300 '

over the foaming deep high archt; a bridge

of length prodigious joyning to the wall

immovable of this now fenceless world

forfeit to death; from hence a passage broad;

smooth; easie; inoffensive down to hell。 ' 305 '

so; if great things to small may be pard;

xerxes; the libertie of greece to yoke;

from susa his memnonian palace high

came to the sea; and over hellespont

bridging his way; europe with asia joynd; ' 310 '

and scourgd with many a stroak th indignant waves。

now had they brought the work by wondrous art

pontifical; a ridge of pendent rock

over the vext abyss; following the track

of satan; to the self same place where hee ' 315 '

first lighted from his wing; and landed safe

from out of chaos to the out side bare

of this round world: with pinns of adamant

and chains they made all fast; too fast they made

and durable; and now in little space ' 320 '

the confines met of empyrean heavn

and of this world; and on the left hand hell

with long reach interposd; three sevral wayes

in sight; to each of these three places led。

and now thir way to earth they had descrid; ' 325 '

to paradise first tending; when behold

satan in likeness of an angel bright

betwixt the centaure and the scorpion stearing

his zenith; while the sun in aries rose:

disguisd he came; but those his children dear ' 330 '

thir parent soon discernd; though in disguise。

hee after eve seduct; unminded slunk

into the wood fast by; and changing shape

to observe the sequel; saw his guileful act

by eve; though all unweeting; seconded ' 335 '

upon her husband; saw thir shame that sought

vain covertures; but when he saw descend

the son of god to judge them terrifid

hee fled; not hoping to escape; but shun

the present; fearing guiltie what his wrauth ' 340 '

might suddenly inflict; that past; returnd

by night; and listening where the hapless paire

sate in thir sad discourse; and various plaint;

thence gatherd his own doom; which understood

not instant; but of future time。 with joy ' 345 '
