正文 24

Earth trembld from her entrails, as again [ 1000 ]

In pangs, and Nature gave a sed groan,

Skie lowrd, and muttering Thunder, som sad drops

Wept at pleating of the mortal Sin

inal; while Adam took no thought,

Eating his fill, o iterate [ 1005 ]

Her former trespass feard, the more to soothe

Him with her lovd societie, that now

As with new Wioxicated both

They swim in mirth, and fahat they feel

Divihin them breeding wings [ 1010 ]

Wherewith to se the Earth: but that false Fruit

Farr other operation first displaid,

al desire enflaming, hee on Eve

Began to cast lascivious Eyes, she him

As wantonly repaid; in Lust they burne: [ 1015 ]

Till Adam thus gao dalliance move,

Eve, now I see thou art exact of taste,

And elegant, of Sapienall part,

Sio each meaning savour ly,

And Palate call judicious; I the praise [ 1020 ]

Yeild thee, so well this day thou hast purveyd.

Much pleasure we have lost, while we abstaind

From this delightful Fruit, nor known till now

True relish, tasting; if such pleasure be

In things to us forbidden, it might be wishd, [ 1025 ]

For this oree had bin forbidden ten.

But e, so well refresht, now let us play,

As meet is, after such delicious Fare;

For never did thy Beautie sihe day

I saw thee first and wedded thee, adornd [ 1030 ]

With all perfes, so enflame my sense

With ardor to enjoy thee, fairer now

Then ever, bountie of this vertuous Tree.

So said he, and forbore not glance or toy

Of amorous i, well uood [ 1035 ]

Of Eve, whose Eye darted tagious Fire.
