and hath bin tasted such: the serpent wise;
or not restraind as wee; or not obeying;
hath eatn of the fruit; and is bee;
not dead; as we are threatnd; but thenceforth ' 870 '
endud with human voice and human sense;
reasoning to admiration; and with mee
perswasively hath so prevaild; that i
have also tasted; and have also found
th effects to correspond; opener mine eyes ' 875 '
dimm erst; dilated spirits; ampler heart;
and growing up to godhead; which for thee
chiefly i sought; without thee can despise。

:
for bliss; as thou hast part; to me is bliss;
tedious; unshard with thee; and odious soon。 ' 880 '
thou therefore also taste; that equal lot
may joyne us; equal joy; as equal love;
least thou not tasting; different degree
disjoyne us; and i then too late renounce
deitie for thee; when fate will not permit。 ' 885 '
thus eve with countnance blithe her storie told;
but in her cheek distemper flushing glowd。
on th other side; adam; soon as he heard
the fatal trespass don by eve; amazd;
astonied stood and blank; while horror chill ' 890 '
ran through his veins; and all his joynts relaxd;
from his slack hand the garland wreathd for eve
down dropd; and all the faded roses shed:
speechless he stood and pale; till thus at length
first to himself he inward silence broke。 ' 895 '
o fairest of creation; last and best
of all gods works; creature in whom excelld
whatever can to sight or thought be formd;
holy; divine; good; amiable; or sweet!
how art thou lost; how on a sudden lost; ' 900 '
defact; deflourd; and now to death devote?
rather how hast thou yeelded to transgress
the strict forbiddance; how to violate
the sacred fruit forbiddn! som cursed fraud
of enemie hath beguild thee; yet unknown; ' 905 '
and mee with thee hath ruind; for with thee
certain my resolution is to die;
how can i live without thee; how forgoe
thy sweet converse and love so dearly joynd;
to live again in these wilde woods forlorn? ' 910 '
should god create another eve; and i
another rib afford; yet loss of thee
would never from my heart; no no; i feel
the link of nature draw me: flesh of flesh;
bone of my bone thou art; and from thy state ' 915 '
mine never shall be parted; bliss or woe。

so having said; as one from sad dismay
reforted; and after thoughts disturbd
submitting to what seemd remediless;
thus in calm mood his words to eve he turnd。 ' 920 '
bold deed thou hast presumd; adventrous eve
and peril great provokt; who thus hath dard
had it been onely coveting to eye
that sacred fruit; sacred to abstinence;
much more to taste it under banne to touch。 ' 925 '
but past who can recall; or don undoe?
not god omnipotent; nor fate; yet so
perhaps thou shalt not die; perhaps the fact
is not so hainous now; foretasted fruit;
profand first by the serpent; by him first ' 930 '
made mon and unhallowd ere our taste;
nor yet on him found deadly; he yet lives;
lives; as thou saidst; and gaines to live as man
higher degree of life; inducement strong
to us; as likely tasting to attaine ' 935 '
proportional ascent; which cannot be
but to be gods; or angels demi…gods。
nor can i think that god; creator wise;
though threatning; will in earnest so destroy
us his prime creatures; dignifid so high; ' 940 '
set over all his works; which in our fall;
for us created; needs with us must faile;
dependent made; so god shall uncreate;
be frustrate; do; undo; and labour loose;
not well conceavd of god; who though his power ' 945 '
creation could repeate; yet would be loath
us to abolish; least the adversary
triumph and say; fickle their state whom god
most favors; who can please him long; mee first
he ruind; now mankind; whom will he next? ' 950 '
matter of scorne; not to be given the foe;
however i with thee have fixt my lot;
certain to undergoe like doom; if death
consort with thee; death is to mee as life;
so forcible within my heart i feel ' 955 '
the bond of nature draw me to my owne;
my own in thee; for what thou art is mine;
our state cannot be severd; we are one;
one flesh; to loose thee were to loose my self。

so adam; and thus eve to him replid。 ' 960 '
o glorious trial of exceeding love;
illustrious evidence; example high!
ingaging me to emulate; but short
of thy perfection; how shall i attaine;
adam; from whose deare side i boast me sprung; ' 965 '
and gladly of our union heare thee speak;
one heart; one soul in both; whereof good prooff
this day affords; declaring thee resolvd;
rather then death or aught then death more dread
shall separate us; linkt in love so deare; ' 970 '
to undergoe with mee one guilt; one crime;
if any be; of tasting this fair fruit;
whose vertue; for of good still good proceeds;
direct; or by occasion hath presented
this happie trial of thy love; which else ' 975 '
so eminently never had bin known。
were it i thought death menact would ensue
this my attempt; i would sustain alone
the worst; and not perswade thee; rather die
deserted; then oblige thee with a fact ' 980 '
pernicious to thy peace; chiefly assurd
remarkably so late of thy so true;
so faithful love unequald; but i feel
farr otherwise th event; not death; but life
augmented; opnd eyes; new hopes; new joyes; ' 985 '
taste so divine; that what of sweet before
hath toucht my sense; flat seems to this; and harsh。
on my experience; adam; freely taste;
and fear of death deliver to the windes。
so saying; she embracd him; and for joy ' 990 '
tenderly wept; much won that he his love
had so enobld; as of choice to incurr
divine displeasure for her sake; or death。
in repence (for such pliance bad
such repence best merits) from the bough ' 995 '
she gave him of that fair enticing fruit
with liberal hand: he scrupld not to eat
against his better knowledge; not deceavd;
but fondly overe with femal char
