I rose as at t found t;
to find ted then my walk;
And on, met, alone I passd through ways [ 50 ]
t brougo tree
Of interdicted Kno seemd,
Muco my Fancie then by day:
And as I , beside it stood
One shose from heavn [ 55 ]
By us oft seen; illd
Ambrosia; on t tree he also gazd;
And O fair Plant, said surchargd,
Deigns none to ease taste t,
Nor God, nor Man; is Knowledge so despisd? [ 60 ]
Or envie, or o taste?
Forbid whhold
Longer t here?
t, but rous Arme
, asted; mee damp horror child [ 65 ]
At suc h a deed so bold:
But Divine,
S of t muc t,
Forbiddn seems, as onely fit
For Gods, yet able to make Gods of Men: [ 70 ]
And he more
Communicated, more abundant growes,
t impaird, but honourd more?
ure, fair Angelic Eve,
Partake t, [ 75 ]
be, not be:
taste the Gods
t to Earth confind,
But somtimes in times
Ascend to thine, and see [ 80 ]
life thou.
So saying, o me held,
Even to my mout same fruit
; t savourie smell
So quicknd appetite, t I, met, [ 85 ]
Could not but taste. Forto the Clouds
ith beheld
tstretc wide
And various: my flight and change
to tation; suddenly [ 90 ]
My Guide , sunk down,
And fell asleep; but O how glad I wakd
to find t a dream! t
Related, and thus Adam answerd sad.
