    And from why flesh,

    And  wo no end, my Guide

    And  t said is just and right.

    For o him indeed all praises owe,

    And daily thanks, I chiefly who enjoy [ 445 ]

    So farr t, enjoying thee

    Pr?eminent by so muchou

    Like consort to t no where find.

    t day I oft remember, when from sleep

    Under a shade of flours, much wondring where

    And w I was, w, and how.

    Not distant far from thence a murmuring sound

    Of ers issud from a Cave and spread

    Into a liquid Plain, tood unmovd [ 455 ]

    Pure as t

    On to look into the cleer

    Smoot to me seemd another Skie.

    As I bent doo look, just opposite, [ 460 ]

    A Sry gleam appeard

    Bending to look on me, I started back,

    It started back, but pleasd I soon returnd,

    Pleasd it returnd as soon h answering looks

    Of sympat [ 465 ]

    Mine eyes till noh vain desire,

    a voice t t,

    Under a Platan, yet met less faire,

    Less , less amiablie milde,

    t smootry image; back I turnd, [ 480 ]

    t aloud, Return faire Eve,

    Out of my side to t my

    Substantial Life, to hee by my side [ 485 ]

    h an individual solace dear;

    Part of my Soul I seek thee claim

    My ot tle hand

    Seisd mine, I yielded, and from t time see
