sure pledge of day; that crownst the smiling morn

with thy bright circlet; praise him in thy spheare

while day arises; that sweet hour of prime。 ' 170 '

thou sun; of this great world both eye and soule;

acknowledge him thy greater; sound his praise

in thy eternal course; both when thou climbst;

and when high noon hast gaind; and when thou fallst。

moon; that now meetst the orient sun; now flist ' 175 '

with the fixt starrs; fixt in thir orb that flies;

and yee five other wandring fires that move

in mystic dance not without song; resound

his praise; who out of darkness calld up light。

aire; and ye elements the eldest birth ' 180 '

of natures womb; that in quaternion run

perpetual circle; multiform; and mix

and nourish all things; let your ceasless change

varie to our great maker still new praise。

ye mists and exhalations that now rise ' 185 '

from hill or steaming lake; duskie or grey;

till the sun paint your fleecie skirts with gold;

in honour to the worlds great author rise;

whether to deck with clouds th uncolourd skie;

or wet the thirstie earth with falling showers; ' 190 '

rising or falling still advance his praise。

his praise ye winds; that from four quarters blow;

breathe soft or loud; and wave your tops; ye pines;

with every plant; in sign of worship wave。

fountains and yee; that warble; as ye flow; ' 195 '

melodious murmurs; warbling tune his praise。

joyn voices all ye living souls; ye birds;

that singing up to heaven gate ascend;

bear on your wings and in your notes his praise;

yee that in waters glide; and yee that walk ' 200 '

the earth; and stately tread; or lowly creep;

witness if i be silent; morn or eeven;

to hill; or valley; fountain; or fresh shade

made vocal by my song; and taught his praise。

hail universal lord; be bounteous still ' 205 '

to give us onely good; and if the night

have gathered aught of evil or conceald;

disperse it; as now light dispels the dark。

so prayd they innocent; and to thir thoughts

firm peace recoverd soon and wonted calm。 ' 210 '

on to thir mornings rural work they haste

among sweet dewes and flours; where any row

of fruit…trees overwoodie reachd too farr

thir pamperd boughes; and needed hands to check

fruitless imbraces: or they led the vine ' 215 '

to wed her elm; she spousd about him twines

her marriageable arms; and with her brings

her dowr th adopted clusters; to adorn

his barren leaves。 them thus imploid beheld

with pittie heavns high king; and to him calld ' 220 '

raphael; the sociable spirit; that deignd

to travel with tobias; and securd

his marriage with the seaventimes…wedded maid。

raphael; said hee; thou hearst what stir on earth

satan from hell scapt through the darksom gulf ' 225 '

hath raisd in paradise; and how disturbd

this night the human pair; how he designes

in them at once to ruin all mankind。

go therefore; half this day as friend with friend

converse with adam; in what bowre or shade ' 230 '

thou findst him from the heat of noon retird;

to respit his day…labour with repast;

or with repose; and such discourse bring on;

as may advise him of his happie state;

happiness in his power left free to will; ' 235 '

left to his own free will; his will though free;

yet mutable; whence warne him to beware

he swerve not too secure: tell him withall

his danger; and from whom; what enemie

late falln himself from heavn; is plotting now ' 240 '

the fall of others from like state of bliss;

by violence; no; for that shall be withstood;

but by deceit and lies; this let him know;

lest wilfully transgressing he pretend

surprisal; unadmonisht; unforewarnd。 ' 245 '

so spake th eternal father; and fulfilld

all justice: nor delaid the winged saint

after his charge receivd; but from among

thousand celestial ardors; where he stood

vaild with his gorgeous wings; up springing light ' 250 '

flew through the midst of heavn; th angelic quires

on each hand parting; to his speed gave way

through all th empyreal road; till at the gate

of heavn arrivd; the gate self…opend wide

on golden hinges turning; as by work ' 255 '

divine the sovran architect had framd。

from hence; no cloud; or; to obstruct his sight;

starr interposd; however small he sees;

not unconform to other shining globes;

earth and the gardn of god; with cedars crownd ' 260 '

above all hills。 as when by night the glass

of galileo; less assurd; observes

imagind lands and regions in the moon:

or pilot from amidst the cyclades

delos or samos first appeering kenns ' 265 '

a cloudy spot。 down thither prone in flight

he speeds; and through the vast ethereal skie

sailes between worlds and worlds; with steddie wing

now on the polar windes; then with quick fann

winnows the buxom air; till within soare ' 270 '

of towring eagles; to all the fowles he seems

a ph?nix; gazd by all; as that sole bird

when to enshrine his reliques in the suns

bright temple; to ?gyptian thebs he flies。

at once on th eastern cliff of paradise ' 275 '

he lights; and to his proper shape returns

a seraph wingd; six wings he wore; to shade

his lineaments divine; the pair that clad

each shoulder broad; came mantling ore his brest

with regal ornament; the middle pair ' 280 '

girt like a starrie zone his waste; and round

skirted his loines and thighes with downie gold

and colours dipt in heavn; the third his feet

shaddowd from either heele with featherd maile

skie…tincturd grain。 like maias son he stood; ' 285 '

and shook his plumes; that heavnly fragrance filld

the circuit wide。 strait knew him all the bands

of angels under watch; and to his state;

and to his message high in honour rise;

for on som message high they guessd him bound。 ' 290 '

thir glittering tents he passd; and now is e

into the blissful field; through groves of myrrhe;

and flouring odours; cassia; nard; and balme;

a wilderness of sweets; for nature here

wantond as in her prime; and plaid at will ' 295 '

her virgin fancies; pouring forth more sweet;

wilde above rule or art; enormous bliss。

him through the spicie forrest onward 

adam discernd; as in the dore he sat

of his coole bowre; while now the mounted sun ' 300 '

shot down direct his fervid raies; to warme

earths inmost womb; more warmth then adam needs;

and eve within; due at her hour prepard

for dinner savourie fruits; of taste to please

true appetite; and not disrelish thirst ' 305 '

of nectarous draughts between; from milkie stream;

berrie or grape: to whom thus adam calld。

haste hither eve; and worth thy sight behold

eastward among those trees; what glorious shape

es this way moving; seems another morn ' 310 '

risn on mid…noon; som great behest from heavn

to us perhaps he brings; and will voutsafe

this day to be our guest。 but goe with speed;

and what thy stores contain; bring forth and poure

abundance; fit to honour and receive ' 315 '

our heavnly stranger; well we may afford

our givers thir own gifts; and large bestow

from large bestowd; where nature multiplies

her fertil growth; and by disburdning grows

more fruitful; which instructs us not to spare。 ' 320 '

to whom thus eve。 adam; earths hallowd mould;

of god inspird; small store will serve; where store;

all seasons; ripe for use hangs on the stalk;

save what by frugal storing firmness gains

to nourish; and superfluous moist consumes: ' 325 '

but i will haste and from each bough and break;

each plant and juiciest gourd will pluck such choice

to entertain our angel guest; as hee

beholding shall confess that here on earth

god hath dispenst his bounties as in heavn。 ' 330 '

she turns; on hospitable thoughts intent

what choice to chuse for delicacie best;

what order; so contrivd as not to mix

tastes; not well joynd; inelegant; but bring ' 335 '

she tempers dulcet creams; nor these to hold

his god…like guest; walks forth; without more train
