She ended heer, or vehement despaire
Broke off the rest; so much of Death her thoughts
Had eaind, as did her Cheeks with pale.
But Adam with such sel nothing swayd, [ 1010 ]
To better hopes his more attentive minde
Lab had raisd, and thus to Eve replid.
Eve, thy pt of life and pleasure seems
Tue in thee somthing more sublime
And excellent then what thy minde nes; [ 1015 ]
But self-destru therefore saught, refutes
That excellehought in thee, and implies,
Not thy pt, but anguish a
For loss of life and pleasure overlovd.
Or if thou covet death, as utmost end [ 1020 ]
Of miserie, so thinking to evade
The penaltie pronounct, doubt not but God
Hath wiselier armd his vengeful ire then so
To be forestalld; much more I fear least Death
So snatcht will not exempt us from the paine [ 1025 ]
We are by doom to pay; rather such acts
Of acie will provoke the highest
To make death in us live: The us seek
Some safer resolution, which methinks
I have in view, calling to mih heed [ 1030 ]
Part of our Sentehat thy Seed shall bruise
The Serpents head; piteous amends, unless
Be meant, whom I jecture, rand Foe
Satan, who in the Serpent hath trivd
Against us this deceit: to crush his head [ 1035 ]
Would be revenge indeed; which will be lost
By death brought on our selves, or childless days
Resolvd, as thou proposest; so our Foe
Shall scape his punishment ordaind, and wee
Instead shall double ours upon our heads. [ 1040 ]
