《Paradise Lost Ⅴ》第2章


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 in thy spheare
while day arises; that sweet hour of prime。 ' 170 '
thou sun; of this great world both eye and soule;
acknowledge him thy greater; sound his praise
in thy eternal course; both when thou climbst;
and when high noon hast gaind; and when thou fallst。
moon; that now meetst the orient sun; now flist ' 175 '
with the fixt starrs; fixt in thir orb that flies;
and yee five other wandring fires that move
in mystic dance not without song; resound
his praise; who out of darkness calld up light。

aire; and ye elements the eldest birth ' 180 '
of natures womb; that in quaternion run
perpetual circle; multiform; and mix
and nourish all things; let your ceasless change
varie to our great maker still new praise。
ye mists and exhalations that now rise ' 185 '
from hill or steaming lake; duskie or grey;
till the sun paint your fleecie skirts with gold;
in honour to the worlds great author rise;
whether to deck with clouds th uncolourd skie;
or wet the thirstie earth with falling showers; ' 190 '
rising or falling still advance his praise。
his praise ye winds; that from four quarters blow;
breathe soft or loud; and wave your tops; ye pines;
with every plant; in sign of worship wave。
fountains and yee; that warble; as ye flow; ' 195 '
melodious murmurs; warbling tune his praise。
joyn voices all ye living souls; ye birds;
that singing up to heaven gate ascend;
bear on your wings and in your notes his praise;
yee that in waters glide; and yee that walk ' 200 '
the earth; and stately tread; or lowly creep;
witness if i be silent; morn or eeven;
to hill; or valley; fountain; or fresh shade
made vocal by my song; and taught his praise。
hail universal lord; be bounteous still ' 205 '
to give us onely good; and if the night
have gathered aught of evil or conceald;
disperse it; as now light dispels the dark。
so prayd they innocent; and to thir thoughts
firm peace recoverd soon and wonted calm。 ' 210 '
on to thir mornings rural work they haste
among sweet dewes and flours; where any row
of fruit…trees overwoodie reachd too farr
thir pamperd boughes; and needed hands to check
fruitless imbraces: or they led the vine ' 215 '
to wed her elm; she spousd about him twines
her marriageable arms; and with her brings
her dowr th adopted clusters; to adorn
his barren leaves。 them thus imploid beheld
with pittie heavns high king; and to him calld ' 220 '
raphael; the sociable spirit; that deignd
to travel with tobias; and securd
his marriage with the seaventimes…wedded maid。

raphael; said hee; thou hearst what stir on earth
satan from hell scapt through the darksom gulf ' 225 '
hath raisd in paradise; and how disturbd
this night the human pair; how he designes
in them at once to ruin all mankind。
go therefore; half this day as friend with friend
converse with adam; in what bowre or shade '
