Foold and beguild, by him thou, I by thee, [ 880 ]

Well if thrown out, as supernumerarie

Disturbances on Earth through Femal snares,

Mankind? this mischief had not then befalln, [ 895 ]

Constant, mature, proof against all assaults,

More to the part sinister from me drawn,

To trust thee from my side, imagind wise,

Befits thee with him le九九藏书网agud, thy self as false

By Parents, or his happiest choice too late

To my just number found. O why did God,

With Spirits Masculine, create at last [ 890 ]

To Humane life, and houshold peace confound.

Not to be trusted, longing to be seen

Rather then solid vertu, all but a Rib

He never shall find out fit Mate, but such

Which i

And understood not all was but a shew

And wandring vanitie, when lest was safe, [ 875 ]

Through her perversness, but shall see her gaind

And straight conjunction with this Sex: for either

As some misfortune brings him, or mistake, [ 900 ]

Though by the Devil himself, him overweening

Like his, an99lib.netd colour Serpentine may shew [ 870 ]

Soft words to his fierce passion she assayd: [ 865 ]

Out of my sight, thou Serpent, that name best

Thy inward fraud, to warn all Creatures from thee

To a fell Adversarie, his hate or shame:

To hellish falshood, snare them. But for thee

Or whom he wishes most shall seldom gain

Or find some other way to 九_九_藏_书_网generate

By a farr worse, or if she love, withheld

Creator wise, that peopld highest Heavn

I had persisted happie, had not thy pride

And hateful; nothing wants, but that thy shape,

Desolate where she sate, approaching nigh,

Of Nature, and not fill the World at once

Henceforth; least that too heavnly form, pretended

Whom thus afflicted when sad Ehttp://www.99lib.netve beheld,

With Men as Angels without Feminine,

And more that shall befall, innumerable

But her with stern regard he thus repelld.

To over-reach, but with the Serpent meeting

This noveltie on Earth, this fair defect

Rejected my forewarning, and disdaind

Crooked by nature, bent, as now appears, [ 885 ]

Shall meet, alreadie linkt and Wedlock-bound [ 905 ]
