she was indeed; and lovely to attract
thy love; not thy subjection; and her gifts
were such as under government well seemd;
unseemly to beare rule; which was thy part ' 155 '
and person; hadst thou known thy self aright。
so having said; he thus to eve in few:
say woman; what is this which thou hast done?

to whom sad eve with shame nigh overwhelmd;
confessing soon; yet not before her judge ' 160 '
bold or loquacious; thus abasht replid。
the serpent me beguild and i did eate。
which when the lord god heard; without delay
to judgement he proceeded on th accusd
serpent though brute; unable to transferre ' 165 '
the guilt on him who made him instrument
of mischief; and polluted from the end
of his creation; justly then accurst;
as vitiated in nature: more to know
concernd not man (since he no further knew) ' 170 '
nor alterd his offence; yet god at last
to satan first in sin his doom applyd
though in mysterious terms; judgd as then best:
and on the serpent thus his curse let fall。
because thou hast done this; thou art accurst ' 175 '
above all cattle; each beast of the field;
upon thy belly groveling thou shalt goe;
and dust shalt eat all the dayes of thy life。
between thee and the woman i will put
enmitie; and between thine and her seed; ' 180 '
her seed shall bruise thy head; thou bruise his heel。
so spake this oracle; then verifid
when jesus son of mary second eve;
saw satan fall like lightning down from heavn;
prince of the aire; then rising from his grave ' 185 '
spoild principalities and powers; triumpht
in open shew; and with ascention bright
captivity led captive through the aire;
the realm it self of satan long usurpt;
whom he shall tread at last under our feet; ' 190 '
eevn hee who now foretold his fatal bruise;
and to the woman thus his sentence turnd。
thy sorrow i will greatly multiplie
by thy conception; children thou shalt bring
in sorrow forth; and to thy husbands will ' 195 '
thine shall submit; hee over thee shall rule。
on adam last thus judgement he pronouncd。

Paradise Lost Ⅹ6
because thou hast hearknd to the voice of thy wife;
and eaten of the tree concerning which
i chargd thee; saying: thou shalt not eate thereof; ' 200 '
cursd is the ground for thy sake; thou in sorrow
shalt eate thereof all the days of thy life;
thorns also and thistles it shall bring thee forth
unbid; and thou shalt eate th herb of th field;
in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread; ' 205 '
till thou return unto the ground; for thou
out of the ground wast taken; know thy birth;
for dust thou art; and shalt to dust returne。
so judgd he man; both judge and saviour sent;
and th instant stroke of death denounct that day ' 210 '
removd farr off; then pittying how they stood
before him naked to the aire; that now
must suffer change; disdaind not to begin
thenceforth the form of servant to assume;
as when he washd his servants feet so now ' 215 '
as father of his familie he clad
thir nakedness with skins of beasts; or slain;
or as the snake with youthful coate repaid;
and thought not much to cloath his enemies:
nor hee thir outward onely with the skins ' 220 '
of beasts; but inward nakedness; much more
opprobrious; with his robe of righteousness;
araying coverd from his fathers sight。
to him with swift ascent he up returnd;
into his blissful bosom reassumd ' 225 '
in glory as of old; to him appeasd
all; though all…knowing; what had past with man
recounted; mixing intercession sweet。
meanwhile ere thus was sind and judgd on earth;
within the gates of hell sate sin and death; ' 230 '
in counterview within the gates; that now
stood open wide; belching outrageous flame
farr into chaos; since the fiend passd through;
sin opening; who thus now to death began。

o son; why sit we here each other viewing ' 235 '
idlely; while satan our great author thrives
in other worlds; and happier seat provides
for us his ofspring deare? it cannot be
but that success attends him; if mishap;
ere this he had returnd; with fury drivn ' 240 '
by his avengers; since no place like this
can fit his punishment; or their revenge。
methinks i feel new strength within me rise;
wings growing; and dominion givn me large
beyond this deep; whatever drawes me on; ' 245 '
or sympathie; or som connatural force
powerful at greatest distance to unite
with secret amity things of like kinde
by secretest conveyance。 thou my shade
inseparable must with mee along: ' 250 '
for death from sin no power can separate。
but least the difficultie of passing back
stay his return perhaps over this gulfe
impassable; impervious; let us try
adventrous work; yet to thy power and mine ' 255 '
not unagreeable; to found a path
over this maine from hell to that new world
where satan now prevailes; a monument
of merit high to all th infernal host;
easing thir passage hence; for intercourse; ' 260 '
or transmigration; as thir lot shall lead。
nor can i miss the way; so strongly drawn
by this new felt attraction and instinct。
whom thus the meager shadow answerd soon。
goe whither fate and inclination strong ' 265 '
leads thee; i shall not lag behinde; nor erre
the way; thou leading; such a sent i draw
of carnage; prey innumerable; and taste
the savour of death from all things there that live:
nor shall i to the work thou enterprisest ' 270 '
be wanting; but afford thee equal aid;
so saying; with delight he snuffd the smell
of mortal change on earth。 as when a flock
of ravenous fowl; though many a league remote;
against the day of battel; to a field; ' 275 '
where armies lie encampt; e flying; lurd
with sent of living carcasses designd
for death; the following day; in bloodie fight。

so sented the grim feature; and upturnd
his nostril wide into the murkie air; ' 280 '
sagacious of his quarry from so farr。
then both from out hell gates into the waste
wide anarchie of chaos damp and dark
flew divers; and with power (thir power was great)
hovering upon the waters; what they met ' 285 '
solid or slimie; as in raging sea
tost up and down; together crowded drove
from each side shoaling towards the mouth of hell。
as when two polar winds blowing adverse
upon the cronian sea; together drive ' 290 '
mountains of ice; that stop th imagind way
beyond petsora eastward; to the rich
cathaian coast。 the aggregated soyle
death with his mace petrific; cold and dry;
as with a trident smote; and fixt as firm ' 295 '
as delos floating once; the rest his look
bound with gorgonian rigor not to move;
and with asphaltic slime; broad as the gate;
deep to the roots of hell the gatherd beach
they fastend; and the mole immense wraught on ' 300 '
over the foaming deep high archt; a bridge
of length prodigious joyning to the wall
immovable of this now fenceless world
forfeit to death; from hence a passage broad;
smooth; easie; inoffensive down to hell。 ' 305 '
so; if great things to small may be pard;
xerxes; the libertie of greece to yoke;
from susa his memnonian palace high
came to the sea; and over hellespont
bridging his way; europe with asia joynd; ' 310 '
and scourgd with many a stroak th indignant waves。
now had they brought the work by wondrous art
pontifical; a ridge of pendent rock
over the vext abyss; following the track
of satan; to the self same place where hee ' 315 '
first lighted from his wing; and landed safe
from out of chaos to the out side bare
of this round world: with pinns of adamant
and chains they made all fast; too fast they made
and durable; and now in little space ' 320 '
the confines met of empyrean heavn
and of this world; and on the left hand hell
with long reach interposd; three sevral wayes
in sight; to each of these three places led。

and now thir way to earth they had descrid; ' 325 '
to paradise first tending; when behold
satan in likeness of an angel bright
betwixt the centaure and the scorpion stearing
his zenith; while the sun in aries rose:
disguisd he came; but those his children dear ' 330 '
thir parent soon discernd; though in disguise。
hee after eve seduct; unminded slunk
into the wood fast by; and changing shape
to observe the sequel; saw his guileful act
by eve; though all unweeting; seconded ' 335 '
upon her husband; saw thir shame that sought
vain covertures; but when he saw descend
the son of god to judge them terrifid
hee fled; not hoping to escape; but shun
the present; fearing guiltie what his wrauth ' 340 '
might suddenly inflict; that past; returnd
by night; and listening where the hapless paire
sate in thir sad discourse; and various plaint;
thence gatherd his own doom; which understood
not instant; but of future time。 with joy ' 345 '
