Hath eatn of the fruit, and is become,
Opning the way, but of Divine effect [ 865 ]
Not dead, as we are threatnd, but thenceforth [ 870 ]
Into the plant sciential sap, derivd
Mean I to trie, what rash untrid I sought, [ 860 ]
Solace in her return, so long delayd;
Or not restraind as wee, or not obeying,
Misgave him; hee the fau九-九-藏-书-网ltring measure felt;
Great joy he promisd to his thoughts, and new
Came Prologue, and Apologie to prompt,
To open Eyes, and make them Gods who taste;
That Morn when first they parted; by the Tree
And forth to meet her went, the way she took
Not felt, nor shall be twice, for never more

From Nectar, drink of Gods. Adam the while

Which with bland words at will she thus addrest. [ 855 ]
Thee I have misst, and thought it long, deprivd
New gatherd, and ambrosial smell diffusd.

Dimm erst, dilated Spirits, ampler Heart,

And hath bin tasted such: the Serpent wise,
