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。

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 '

what choice to chuse for delicacie best;
