Familiar to our eyes, all places else [ 305 ]

To wearie him with my assiduous cries: [ 310 ]

What justly thou hast lost; nor set thy heart,

Of lustre from the brook, in memorie, [ 325 ]

His bright appearances, or foot step-trace?

With worship, place by place where he voutsafd

Incessant I could hope to change the wread.99csw.comill

And in performing end us; what besides [ 300 ]

Recovering, and his scatterd spirits returnd,

Nor knowing us nor known: and if by prayer

Thy Husband, him to follow thou art bound;

This most afflicts me, that departing hence, [ 315 ]

Therefore to his great bidding I submit.

Departure from this ha九九藏書ppy place, our sweet

I heard, here with him at this Fountain talkd:

Offer sweet smelling Gumms and Fruits and Flours:

Thy message, which might else in telling wound,

Of them the Highest, for such of shape may seem

Blown stifling back on him that breaths it forth:

As from his face I shall be hid, deprivd

On this M九_九_藏_書ount he appeerd, under this Tree [ 320 ]

Celestial, whether among the Thrones, or namd

Recess, and onely consolation left

Thy going is not lonely, with thee goes [ 290 ]

Our frailtie can sustain, thy tidings bring,

Lament not Eve, but patiently resigne

Thus over-fond, on that which is not thine;

Prince above Princ九九藏書es, gently hast thou tould

Presence Divine, and to my Sons relate;

In yonder nether World where shall I seek

Of him who all things can, I would not cease

His blessed countnance; here I could frequent,

To Michael thus his humble words addressd. [ 295 ]

No more availes then breath against the winde,

Or monument to Ages, ahttps://read.99csw.comnd thereon

So many grateful Altars I would reare

Stood visible, among these Pines his voice

Of grassie Terfe, and pile up every Stone

Inhospitable appeer and desolate,

Where he abides, think there thy native soile.

Adam by this from the cold sudden damp

But prayer against his absolute Decree

Of sorrow and dejection and despair
