Kindld through agitation to a Flame,

Of all these Garden Trees ye shall not eate,

Hovering and blazing with delusive Light,

To mischief swift. Hope elevates, and joy

God so commanded, and left that Command

To whom thus Eve yet sinless. Of the Fruit

Of prohibition, root of all our woe九九藏書; [ 645 ]

There swallowd up and lost, from succour farr.

Brightns his Crest, as when a wandring Fire

Of blowing Myrrh and Balme; if thou accept

Compact of unctuous vapor, which the Night [ 635 ]

Empress, the way is readie, and not long,

Thereof, nor shall ye touch it, least ye die.

My conduct, I can bring thee thither soon. [ 630 ]

Misleads th amazd Night-wanderer from his way [ 640 ]

To Boggs and Mires, and oft through Pond or Poole,

Fruitless to mee, though Fruit be here to excess,
