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; '
