And I perhaps am secret; Heavn is high,

And render me more equal, and perhaps,

I could endure, without him live no life.

Greedily she ingorgd without restraint,

Shall live with her enjoying, I extinct;

A thing not undesireable, somtime

A death to think. Confirmd then I resolve, [ 830 ]

And Adam wedded towww.９９ｌｉb•nｅt another Eve,

Superior: for inferior who is free? [ 825 ]

Shall tend thee, and the fertil burden ease

Created; but henceforth my early care,

Thus to her self she pleasingly began.

Shall I appeer? shall I to him make known

And givst access, though secret she retire. [ 810 ]

Adam shall share九九藏书网 with me in bliss or woe:

This may be well: but what if God have seen

High and remote to see from thence distinct

Till dieted by thee I grow mature

Each thing on Earth; and other care perhaps

And Death ensue? then I shall be no more,

As yet my change, and give him to partake

Without Copartner? so to a九*九*藏*书*网dd what wants

And thy fair Fruit let hang, as to no end

Full happiness with mee, or rather not,

Of thy full branches offerd free to all;

To Sapience, hitherto obscurd, infamd,

May have diverted from continual watch

In Femal Sex, the more to draw his Love,

About him. But to Adam in what sort

So dear I lov九*九*藏*书*网e him, that with him all deaths

In ignorance, thou opnst Wisdoms way,

In Paradise, of operation blest

Our great Forbidder, safe with all his Spies [ 815 ]

And hightnd as with Wine, jocond and boon,

Not without Song, each Morning, and due praise [ 800 ]

O Sovran, vertuous, precious of all Trees [ 795 ]

For had th９９ｌｉｂ•nete gift bin theirs, it had not here

And knew not eating Death: Satiate at length,

Thus grown. Experience, next to thee I owe,

But keep the odds of Knowledge in my power [ 820 ]

Though others envie what they cannot give; [ 805 ]

Best guide; not following thee, I had remaind

In knowledge, as the Gods who all things know;
