Shall with a fierce reflux on mee redound,
Accurst of blessed, hide me from the face
Of happiness: yet well, if here would end [ 725 ]
Or multiplie, but curses on my head?
Wouldst thou admit for his contempt of thee
Who of all Ages to succeed, but feeling
To mould me Man, did I sollicite thee
Sufficient penaltie, why hast thou a九*九*藏*书*网dded
Of this new glorious World, and mee so late
I thus contest; then should have been refusd
Thy Justice seems; yet to say truth, too late, [ 755 ]
Thou didst accept them; wilt thou enjoy the good,
Heavie, though in thir place. O fleeting joyes
My own deservings; but this will not serve;
Delightfully, Encrease and 九九藏书multiply, [ 730 ]
Prove disobedient, and reprovd, retort,
Shall be the execration; so besides
Made thee without thy leave, what if thy Son [ 760 ]
The miserie, I deservd it, and would beare
Mine own that bide upon me, all from mee
The good I sought not. To the loss of that,
The Glory of that Glory, who now becom
All I rec藏书网eavd, unable to performe [ 750 ]
Then cavil the conditions? and though God
Did I request thee, Maker, from my Clay
Of God, whom to behold was then my highth
From darkness to promote me, or here place [ 745 ]
My Head, Ill fare our Ancestor impure, [ 735 ]
Of Paradise, deare bought with lasting woes!
That proud excuse? yet him not th九九藏书网y election,
And equal to reduce me to my dust,
For this we may thank Adam; but his thanks
The evil on him brought by me, will curse
Wherefore didst thou beget me? I sought it not
But Natural necessity begot. [ 765 ]
The sense of endless woes? inexplicable
Thy terms too hard, by which I was to hold
Now death to hear! for what can I enc九*九*藏*书*网rease
All that I eat or drink, or shall beget,
On mee as on thir natural center light [ 740 ]
Desirous to resigne, and render back
Is propagated curse. O voice once heard
O miserable of happie! is this the end [ 720 ]
In this delicious Garden? as my Will
Concurd not to my being, it were but right
Those terms whatever, when they were proposd:
