To see how thou couldst judge of fit and meet:

Dazld and spent, sunk down, and sought repair

And no such companie as then thou sawst

And in her looks, which from that time infusd

Thy wish, exactly to thy hearts desire.

Under his forming hands a Creature grew, [ 470 ]

Hee ended, or I heard no more, for no九九藏書w

In that celestial Colloquie sublime, [ 455 ]

My Image, not imparted to the Brute,

Manlike, but different sex, so lovly faire,

My earthly by his Heavnly overpowerd,

Though sleeping, where I lay, and saw the shape

Mean, or in her summd up, in her containd

Of sleep, which instantly fell on me, caｈttｐs://reaｄ•９９ｃsｗ•cｏｍlld

The spirit of love and amorous delight.

Intended thee, for trial onely brought,

By Nature as in aide, and closd mine eyes.

Which thou hast rightly namd, but of thy self,

And Life-blood streaming fresh; wide was the wound,

And be so minded still; I, ere thou spakst,

The Rib he formd and fashond with his hands;

Knew it not good for Man to be alone, [ 445 ]

From thence a Rib, wi九九藏書th cordial spirits warme,

Abstract as in a transe methought I saw,

Good reason was thou freely shouldst dislike,

Still glorious before whom awake I stood;

Thus farr to try thee, Adam, I was pleasd,

And into all things from her Aire inspird

And finde thee knowing not of Beasts alone,

Whose fellowship therefore unmeet for thee
