i should conceal； and not expose to blame ＇ 130 ＇
by my plaint； but strict necessitie
subdues me； and calamitous constraint
least on my head both sin and punishment；
however insupportable； be all
devolvd； though should i hold my peace； yet thou ＇ 135 ＇
wouldst easily detect what i conceale。
this woman whom thou madst to be my help；
and gavst me as thy perfet gift； so good；
so fit； so acceptable； so divine；
that from her hand i could suspect no ill； ＇ 140 ＇
and what she did； whatever in it self；
her doing seemd to justifie the deed；
shee gave me of the tree； and i did eate。
to whom the sovran presence thus replid。
was shee thy god； that her thou didst obey ＇ 145 ＇
before his voice； or was shee made thy guide；
superior； or but equal； that to her
thou didst resigne thy manhood； and the place
wherein god set thee above her made of thee；
and for thee； whose perfection farr excelld ＇ 150 ＇
hers in all real dignitie： adornd
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。

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
