in time of truce; iris had dipt the wooff;
his starrie helme unbuckld shewd him prime ' 245 '
in manhood where youth ended; by his side
as in a glistering zodiac hung the sword;
satans dire dread; and in his hand the spear。
adam bowd low; hee kingly from his state
inclind not; but his ing thus declard。 ' 250 '
adam; heavns high behest no preface needs:
sufficient that thy prayers are heard; and death;
then due by sentence when thou didst transgress;
defeated of his seisure many dayes
givn thee of grace; wherein thou mayst repent; ' 255 '
and one bad act with many deeds well done
mayst cover: well may then thy lord appeasd
redeem thee quite from deaths rapacious claime;
but longer in this paradise to dwell
permits not; to remove thee i am e; ' 260 '
and send thee from the garden forth to till
the ground whence thou wast takn; fitter soile。
he added not; for adam at the newes
heart…strook with chilling gripe of sorrow stood;
that all his senses bound; eve; who unseen ' 265 '
yet all had heard; with audible lament
discoverd soon the place of her retire。
o unexpected stroke; worse then of death!
must i thus leave thee paradise? thus leave
thee native soile; these happie walks and shades; ' 270 '
fit haunt of gods? where i had hope to spend;
quiet though sad; the respit of that day
that must be mortal to us both。 o flours;
that never will in other climate grow;
my early visitation; and my last ' 275 '
at eevn; which i bred up with tender hand
from the first opning bud; and gave ye names;
who now shall reare ye to the sun; or ranke
your tribes; and water from th ambrosial fount?
thee lastly nuptial bowre; by mee adornd ' 280 '
with what to sight or smell was sweet; from thee
how shall i part; and whither wander down
into a lower world; to this obscure
and wilde; how shall we breath in other aire
less pure; accustomd to immortal fruits? ' 285 '
whom thus the angel interrupted milde。

lament not eve; but patiently resigne
what justly thou hast lost; nor set thy heart;
thus over…fond; on that which is not thine;
thy going is not lonely; with thee goes ' 290 '
thy husband; him to follow thou art bound;
where he abides; think there thy native soile。
adam by this from the cold sudden damp
recovering; and his scatterd spirits returnd;
to michael thus his humble words addressd。 ' 295 '
celestial; whether among the thrones; or namd
of them the highest; for such of shape may seem
prince above princes; gently hast thou tould
thy message; which might else in telling wound;
and in performing end us; what besides ' 300 '
of sorrow and dejection and despair
our frailtie can sustain; thy tidings bring;
departure from this happy place; our sweet
recess; and onely consolation left
familiar to our eyes; all places else ' 305 '
inhospitable appeer and desolate;
nor knowing us nor known: and if by prayer
incessant i could hope to change the will
of him who all things can; i would not cease
to wearie him with my assiduous cries: ' 310 '
but prayer against his absolute decree
no more availes then breath against the winde;
blown stifling back on him that breaths it forth:
therefore to his great bidding i submit。
this most afflicts me; that departing hence; ' 315 '
as from his face i shall be hid; deprivd
his blessed countnance; here i could frequent;
with worship; place by place where he voutsafd
presence divine; and to my sons relate;
on this mount he appeerd; under this tree ' 320 '
stood visible; among these pines his voice
i heard; here with him at this fountain talkd:
so many grateful altars i would reare
of grassie terfe; and pile up every stone
of lustre from the brook; in memorie; ' 325 '
or monument to ages; and thereon
offer sweet smelling gumms and fruits and flours:
in yonder nether world where shall i seek
his bright appearances; or foot step…trace?

:
for though i fled him angrie; yet recalld ' 330 '
to life prolongd and promisd race; i now
gladly behold though but his utmost skirts
of glory; and farr off his steps adore。
to whom thus michael with regard benigne。
adam; thou knowst heavn his; and all the earth。 ' 335 '
not this rock onely; his omnipresence fills
land; sea; and aire; and every kinde that lives;
fomented by his virtual power and warmd:
all th earth he gave thee to possess and rule;
no despicable gift; surmise not then ' 340 '
his presence to these narrow bounds confind
of paradise or eden: this had been
perhaps thy capital seate; from whence had spred
all generations; and had hither e
from all the ends of th earth; to celebrate ' 345 '
and reverence thee thir great progenitor。
but this pr?eminence thou hast lost; brought down
to dwell on eeven ground now with thy sons:
yet doubt not but in vallie and in plaine
god is as here; and will be found alike ' 350 '
present; and of his presence many a signe
still following thee; still passing thee round
with goodness and paternal love; his face
express; and of his steps the track divine。
which that thou mayst beleeve; and be confirmd ' 355 '
ere thou from hence depart; know i am sent
to shew thee what shall e in future dayes
to thee and to thy ofspring; good with bad
expect to hear; supernal grace contending
with sinfulness of men; thereby to learn ' 360 '
true patience; and to temper joy with fear
and pious sorrow; equally enurd
by moderation either state to beare;
prosperous or adverse: so shalt thou lead
safest thy life; and best prepard endure ' 365 '
thy mortal passage when it es。 ascend
this hill; let eve (for i have drencht her eyes)
here sleep below while thou to foresight wakst;
as once thou slepst; while shee to life was formd。

to whom thus adam gratefully replid。 ' 370 '
ascend; i follow thee; safe guide; the path
thou leadst me; and to the hand of heavn submit;
however chastning; t
