thus they in lowliest plight repentant stood
praying; for from the mercie…seat above
prevenient grace descending had removd
the stonie from thir hearts; & made new flesh
regenerate grow instead; that sighs now breathd ' 5 '
unutterable; which the spirit of prayer
inspird; and wingd for heavn with speedier flight
then loudest oratorie: yet thir port
not of mean suiters; nor important less
seemd thir petition; then when th ancient pair ' 10 '
in fables old; less ancient yet then these;
deucalion and chaste pyrrha to restore
the race of mankind drownd; before the shrine
of themis stood devout。 to heavn thir prayers
flew up; nor missd the way; by envious windes ' 15 '
blown vagabond or frustrate: in they passd
dimentionless through heavnly dores; then clad
with incense; where the golden altar fumd;
by thir great intercessor; came in sight
before the fathers throne: them the glad son ' 20 '
presenting; thus to intercede began。
see father; what first fruits on earth are sprung
from thy implanted grace in man; these sighs
and prayers; which in this golden censer; mixt
with incense; i thy priest before thee bring; ' 25 '
fruits of more pleasing savour from thy seed
sown with contrition in his heart; then those
which his own hand manuring all the trees
of paradise could have product; ere falln
from innocence。 now therefore bend thine eare ' 30 '
to supplication; heare his sighs though mute;
unskilful with what words to pray; let mee
interpret for him; mee his advocate
and propitiation; all his works on mee
good or not good ingraft; my merit those ' 35 '
shall perfet; and for these my death shall pay。
accept me; and in mee from these receave
the smell of peace toward mankinde; let him live
before thee reconcild; at least his days
numberd; though sad; till death; his doom (which i ' 40 '
to mitigate thus plead; not to reverse)
to better life shall yeeld him; where with mee
all my redeemd may dwell in joy and bliss;
made one with me as i with thee am one。

to whom the father; without cloud; serene。 ' 45 '
all thy request for man; accepted son;
obtain; all thy request was my decree:
but longer in that paradise to dwell;
the law i gave to nature him forbids:
those pure immortal elements that know ' 50 '
no gross; no unharmoneous mixture foule;
eject him tainted now; and purge him off
as a distemper; gross to aire as gross;
and mortal food; as may dispose him best
for dissolution wrought by sin; that first ' 55 '
distemperd all things; and of incorrupt
corrupted。 i at first with two fair gifts
created him endowd; with happiness
and immortalitie: that fondly lost;
this other servd but to eternize woe; ' 60 '
till i provided death; so death bees
his final remedie; and after life
trid in sharp tribulation; and refind
by faith and faithful works; to second life;
wakt in the renovation of the just; ' 65 '
resignes him up with heavn and earth renewd。
but let us call to synod all the blest
through heavns wide bounds; from them i will not hide
my judgments; how with mankind i proceed;
as how with peccant angels late they saw; ' 70 '
and in thir state; though firm; stood more confirmd。
he ended; and the son gave signal high
to the bright minister that watchd; hee blew
his trumpet; heard in oreb since perhaps
when god descended; and perhaps once more ' 75 '
to sound at general doom。 th angelic blast
filld all the regions: from thir blissful bowrs
of amarantin shade; fountain or spring;
by the waters of life; where ere they sate
in fellowships of joy: the sons of light ' 80 '
hasted; resorting to the summons high;
and took thir seats; till from his throne supream
th almighty thus pronouncd his sovran will。

o sons; like one of us man is bee
to know both good and evil; since his taste ' 85 '
of that defended fruit; but let him boast
his knowledge of good lost; and evil got;
happier; had sufficd him to have known
good by it self; and evil not at all。
he sorrows now; repents; and prayes contrite; ' 90 '
my motions in him; longer then they move;
his heart i know; how variable and vain
self…left。 least therefore his now bolder hand
reach also of the tree of life; and eat;
and live for ever; dream at least to live ' 95 '
for ever; to remove him i decree;
and send him from the garden forth to till
the ground whence he was taken; fitter soile。
michael; this my behest have thou in charge;
take to thee from among the cherubim ' 100 '
thy choice of flaming warriours; least the fiend
or in behalf of man; or to invade
vacant possession som new trouble raise:
hast thee; and from the paradise of god
without remorse drive out the sinful pair; ' 105 '
from hallowd ground th unholie; and denounce
to them and to thir progenie from thence
perpetual banishment。 yet least they faint
at the sad sentence rigorously urgd;
for i behold them softnd and with tears ' 110 '
bewailing thir excess; all terror hide。
if patiently thy bidding they obey;
dismiss them not disconsolate; reveale
to adam what shall e in future dayes;
as i shall thee enlighten; intermix ' 115 '
my covnant in the womans seed renewd;
so send them forth; though sorrowing; yet in peace:
and on the east side of the garden place;
