I beare thee, and unweeting have offended,
On me alreadie lost, mee then thy self
The sentence from thy head removd may light
And tresses all disorderd, at his feet
As one disarmd, his anger all he lost, [ 945 ]
As joynd in injuries, one enmitie [ 925 ]
What love sincere, and reverence in my heart [ 915 ]
So now of what thou knowst not, who desirst
Against九_九_藏_書 a Foe by doom express assignd us,
To me committed and by me exposd.
Whither shall I betake me, where subsist?
Acknowledgd and deplord, in Adam wraught
There with my cries importune Heaven, that all
Creature so faire his reconcilement seeking,
He added not, and from her turnd, but Eve
While yet we live, scarse one short hour perhaps,
Thy cohttps://read•99csw.comunsel in this uttermost distress, [ 920 ]
Against God onely, I against God and thee,
Unhappilie deceavd; thy suppliant
Between us two let there be peace, both joyning,
Commiseration; soon his heart relented [ 940 ]
And my displeasure bearst so ill. If Prayers
The punishment all on thy self; alas,
That cruel Serpent: On me exercise not
Towards her九*九*藏*書, his life so late and sole delight,
My onely strength and stay: forlorn of thee,
That on my head all might be visited, [ 955 ]
Beare thine own first, ill able to sustaine [ 950 ]
Whereon I live, thy gentle looks, thy aid,
On me, sole cause to thee of all this woe, [ 935 ]
I beg, and clasp thy knees; bereave me not,
Would speed before thee, and be louder heard九*九*藏*書,
Thy hatred for this miserie befalln,
Could alter high Decrees, I to that place
And thus with peaceful words upraisd her soon.
Thy frailtie and infirmer Sex forgivn,
And to the place of judgment will return,
Mee mee onely just object of his ire.
Not so repulst, with Tears that ceasd not flowing, [ 910 ]
Immovable till peace obtaind from fault
Forsake me not thus, 九-九-藏-書Adam, witness Heavn
His peace, and thus proceeded in her plaint.
Now at his feet submissive in distress,
Fell humble, and imbracing them, besaught
She ended weeping, and her lowlie plight,
His counsel whom she had displeasd, his aide;
More miserable; both have sind, but thou [ 930 ]
His full wrauth whose thou feelst as yet lest part,
Unwarie, and too desirous, as before,
