Befits thee with him leagud, thy self as false

Soft words to his fierce passion she assayd: [ 865 ]

But her with stern regard he thus repelld.

He never shall find out fit Mate, but such

Thy inward fraud, to warn all Creatures from thee

Mankind? this mischief had not then befalln, [ 895 ]

As some misfortune brings him, or mistake, [ 900 ｒeａｄ•9９ｃｓｗ.coｍ]

To hellish falshood, snare them. But for thee

Through her perversness, but shall see her gaind

Whom thus afflicted when sad Eve beheld,

With Spirits Masculine, create at last [ 890 ]

Constant, mature, proof against all assaults,

To Humane life, and houshold peace confound.

Disturbances on Earth through Femal snares,

Though by the Devil himself, him overweening

By a farr worse, or if she love, withheld

Crooked by nature, bent, as now appears, [ 885 ]

To a fell Adversarie, his hate 九_九_藏_書or shame:

Henceforth; least that too heavnly form, pretended

Rather then solid vertu, all but a Rib

Out of my sight, thou Serpent, that name best

Of Nature, and not fill the World at once

I had persisted happie, had not thy pride

With Men as Angels without Feminine,

And straight conjunction with this Sex: for either

Rejected my forewarning, and disdaind
