Those two; the third best absent is condemnd,

Down he descended strait; the speed of Gods [ 90 ]

Brought to thir Ears, while day declind, they heard,

Convict by flight, and Rebel to all Law

Came the mild Judge and Intercessor both

Thus saying, from his radiant Seat he rose [ 85 ]

Where obvious du九九藏书网tie erewhile appeard unsaught:

Now walking in the Garden, by soft windes

Approaching, thus to Adam calld aloud.

To sentence Man: the voice of God they heard

Affraid, being naked, hid my self. To whom

And shame, and perturbation, and despaire,

Absents thee, or what chance detains? Come 99lib•netforth.

To fan the Earth now wakd, and usher in

To offend, discountnanct both, and discomposd; [ 110 ]

The Eevning coole, when he from wrauth more coole [ 95 ]

Not pleasd, thus entertaind with solitude, [ 105 ]

Of high collateral glorie: him Thrones and Powers,

The thickest Trees, both 藏书网Man and Wife, till God

Princedoms, and Dominations ministrant

The gracious Judge without revile replid.

From Noon, and gentle Aires due at thir hour

Or come I less conspicuous, or what change

He came, and with him Eve, more loth, though first

Whence Adam faultring long, thus answerd brief. [ 115 ]

Atwww.99lib.nettendance none shall need, nor Train, where none [ 80 ]

Where art thou Adam, wont with joy to meet

And from his presence hid themselves among [ 100 ]

My coming seen far off? I miss thee here,

Or to each other, but apparent guilt,

Anger, and obstinacie, and hate, and guile.

Eden and all the Coast in pros九-九-藏-书-网pect lay.

Conviction to the Serpent none belongs.

Time counts not, though with swiftest minutes wingd.

Accompanied to Heaven Gate, from whence

Are to behold the Judgement, but the judgd,

Love was not in thir looks, either to God

I heard thee in the Garden, and of thy voice

Now was the Sun in Western cadence low
