Her self a fairer Floure by gloomie Dis [ 270 ]

Saw undelighted all delight, all kind

In naked Majestie seemd Lords of all, [ 290 ]

Hid Amalthea and her Florid Son

Breathing the smell of field and grove, attune [ 265 ]

As the Vine curles her tendrils, which implid

Knit with the Graces and the Hours in dance

Clustring, but not beneath his should藏书网ers broad:

A whole days journy high, but wide remote

The trembling leaves, while Universal Pan

Severe but in true filial freedom plact;

Yielded with coy submission, modest pride, [ 310 ]

By Nilus head, enclosd with shining Rock,

And by her yielded, by him best receivd,

The Birds thir quire apply; aires, vernal aires,

Mount Amara, thoughhtｔp://wwｗ.99ｌiｂ•neｔ this by som supposd

Of Daphne by Orontes, and th inspird

Subjection, but requird with gentle sway,

Nor where Abassin Kings thir issue Guard, [ 280 ]

Young Bacchus from his Stepdame Rheas eye;

From this Assyrian Garden, where the Fiend [ 285 ]

Absolute rule; and Hyacinthin Locks

Whom Gentiles Ammon call and Lybian Jove,

Truth, wi九-九-藏-书-网sdome, Sanctitude severe and pure,

The image of thir glorious Maker shon,

For contemplation hee and valour formd,

Led on th Eternal Spring. Not that faire field

For softness shee and sweet attractive Grace,

Disheveld, but in wanton ringlets wavd

And worthie seemd, for in thir looks Divine

Godlike erect, with native Honour clad

Her unadorned golwｗw•99ｌiｂ•ｎｅtden tresses wore [ 305 ]

Of Eden strive; nor that Nyseian Ile [ 275 ]

Was gatherd, which cost Ceres all that pain

His fair large Front and Eye sublime declard [ 300 ]

And sweet reluctant amorous delay.

Of living Creatures new to sight and strange:

Castalian Spring, might with this Paradise

Two of far nobler shape erect and tall,

Whence true autority in men; though both [ 295 ]

True Paradise under the Ethiop Line

Girt with the River Triton, where old Cham,

Shee as a vail down to the slender waste

To seek her through the world; nor that sweet Grove

Round from his parted forelock manly hung

Of Enna, where Proserpin gathering flours

Not equal, as thir sex not equal seemd;

Hee for God only, shee for God in him:
