In Paradise of all things common else.

Whatever Hypocrites austerely talk

And starrie Pole: Thou also madst the Night,

Of puritie and place and innocence, [ 745 ]

These troublesom disguises which wee wear, [ 740 ]

Haile wedded Love, mysterious Law, true source [ 750 ]

Handed they went; and easd the putting off

Mysterious of connubial Love refusd:

The God that made both Skie, Air, Earth and Heavn

Adam from his fair Spouse, nor Eve the Rites

Our Maker bids increase, who bids abstain

And mutual love, the Crown of all our bliss

But our Destroyer, foe to God and Man?

To fill the Earth, who shall with us extoll

Of human ofspring, sole propriety,

And when we seek, as now, thy gift of sle99lib•netep. [ 735 ]

This said unanimous, and other Rites

Maker Omnipotent, and thou the Day, [ 725 ]

Which God likes best, into thir inmost bowre

Pure, and commands to som, leaves free to all.

Which they beheld, the Moons resplendent Globe

Have fi

99lib•net

nisht happie in our mutual help

Which we in our appointed work imployd

Strait side by side were laid, nor turnd I weene

Thy goodness infinite, both when we wake,

Observing none, but adoration pure

Both turnd, and under opn Skie adord

Thus at thir ９9ｌiｂ•netshadie Lodge arrivd, both stood [ 720 ]

For us too large, where thy abundance wants [ 730 ]

Partakers, and uncropt falls to the ground.

But thou hast promisd from us two a Race

Ordaind by thee, and this delicious place

Defaming as impure what God declares
