I found not what me thought I wanted still; [ 355 ]
From thee thir Names, and pay thee fealtie
Yet dreadful in mine eare, though in my choice [ 335 ]
The day thou eatst thereof, my sole command

Returnd and gracious purpose thus renewd.

Approaching two and two, These cowring low [ 350 ]
Eate freely with glad heart; fear here no dearth:
Shalt loose, expelld from hence into a World
The Pledge of thy Obedience and thy Faith, [ 325 ]
I namd them, as they passd, and understood
The rigid interdiction, which resounds
