Attendanone shall need, nor Train, where none [ 80 ]
Are to behold the Judgement, but the judgd,
Those two; the third best absent is nd,
vict by flight, and Rebel to all Law
vi to the Serpent none belongs.
Thus saying, from his radia he rose [ 85 ]
Of high collateral glorie: him Thrones and Powers,
Prins, and Dominations ministrant
Apao Heaven Gate, from whence
Eden and all the Coast in prospect lay.
Down he desded strait; the speed of Gods [ 90 ]
Time ts not, though with swiftest minutes wingd.
Now was the Sun iern ce low
From Noon, ale Aires due at thir hour
To fan the Earth now wakd, and usher in
The Eevning coole, when he from wrauth more coole [ 95 ]
Came the mild Judge and Intercessor both
To sentence Man: the voice of God they heard
Now walking in the Garden, by soft windes
Brought to thir Ears, while day ded, they heard,
And from his presence hid themselves among [ 100 ]
The thickest Trees, both Man and Wife, till God
Approag, thus to Adam calld aloud.
Where art thou Adam, wont with joy to meet
My ing seen far off? I miss thee here,
Not pleasd, thus eaind with solitude, [ 105 ]
Where obvious dutie erewhile appeard unsaught:
Or e I less spicuous, or what ge
Absents thee, or what ce detains? e forth.
He came, and with him Eve, more loth, though first
To offend, distnanct both, and disposd; [ 110 ]
Love was not in thir looks, either to God
Or to each other, but apparent guilt,
And shame, aurbation, and despaire,
Anger, and obstinacie, and hate, and guile.
Whence Adam faultring long, thus answerd brief. [ 115 ]
I heard thee in the Garden, and of thy voice
Affraid, being naked, hid my self. To whom
The gracious Judge without revile replid.
