  Speaker 1: Book five, Part one. Now morn her rosy steps, the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: eastern clime advancing sowed the earth with orient pearl. What
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Adam waked so customed for his sleep was airy light
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: from pure digestion, bred and temperate vapors bland, which the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: only sound of leaves and fuming rills, Aurora's fan lightly dispersed,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and the shrill matten song of birds on every bough.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: So much the more his wonder was to find unwaken'd Eve,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: with tresses discomposed and glowing cheek as through unquiet rest.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: He on his side, leaning half raised, with looks of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: cordial love hung over her, enamor'd and beheld beauty, which,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: whether waking or asleep, shot forth peculiar graces. Then, with
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: voice mild as when Zephyrus on Flora breathes her hand,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: soft touching, whisper'd. Thus awake, my fairest, my espous'd, my
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: latest found, Heaven's last best gift, my ever new delight. Awake.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: The morning shines, and the fresh field calls us. We
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: lose the prime to mark how spring our tended plans,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: how blows the citron grove? What drops the mirror? And
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: what the balmy reed, how nature paints her colors, how
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the beast sits on the bloom, extracting liquid. Sweet. Such
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: whispering waked her, but with startled eye on Adam, whom
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: embracing thus she spake a soul in whom my thoughts
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: find all repose, my glory, my perfection. Glad I see
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: thy face and morn returned for I this night, such
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: night till this I never passed, have dream'd, if dreamed,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: not as I oft am want of thee works of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: day past or Morrow's next design, but of offense and trouble,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: which my mind knew never till this irksome night. Methought
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: close at mine, ear one call'd me forth to walk
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: with gentle voice. I thought it thine, it said, why
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: sleep'st thou eve? Now is the pleasant time, the cool,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the silent save where silence yields to the night warbling
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: bird that now awake, tuned sweetest his love labor'd song
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: now reigns full orb'd the moon, and with more pleasing light,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: shadowy sets off the face of things in vain. If
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: none regard, Heaven wakes with all his eyes whom to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: behold but thee Nature's desire in whose sight all things
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: joy with ravishment, Attracted by thy beauty, still to gaze,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I rose as at thy call, but found thee, not
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to find thee directed than my walk, And on me
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: thought alone, I passed through ways that brought me on
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a sudden to the tree of interdicted knowledge. Fair it
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: seem'd much fairer to my fancy than by day. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: as I, wondering looked beside it stood one shaped and winged,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: like one of those from heaven. By us oft seen
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: his dewy locks distilled ambrosia. On that tree. He also gazed,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and o fair plants, said he, with fruits surcharged, deigns,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: no untease thy load and taste thy sweet. Nor God
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: nor man is knowledge so despised or envy, or what
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: reserve forbids to taste? Forbid? Who will none shall from
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: me withhold longer thy offered good? Why else? Set here?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Thus said he paused, not but with venturous arm he plucked.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: He tasted me damp horror, chilled at such bold words,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: vouched with a deed so bold. But he thus overjoyed,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Oh fruit, divine sweet of thyself, but much more sweet,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: thus cropped forbidden here it seems as only fit for gods,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: yet able to make gods of men, And why not
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: gods of men? Since good, the more communicated, more abundant,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: grows the author not impaired, but honored more. Here, happy creature, fair,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: angelic eve, partake thou also happy, Though thou art happier,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: thou mayst be worthier, canst not be taste this? And
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: be henceforth among the gods, thyself a goddess, not to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: earth confined, but sometimes in the air, as we sometimes
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: ascend to heaven. By merit thine, and see what life
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the gods live there, and such live thou so saying,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: he drew nigh and to me held even to my
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: mouth of that same fruit, held part which he had plucked.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: The pleasant savory smell so quickened appetite that I methought
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: could not but taste. Forthwith up to the clouds with him,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I flew, and underneath beheld the earth outstretched, immense, a prospect,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: wide and various, wondering at my flight, and changed to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: this high exaltation. Suddenly my guide was gone, and I,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: methought sunk down and fell asleep. But ah, how glad
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I wake to find the but a dream, thus eve
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: her night related, and thus Adam answered sap best image
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: of myself and dearer half the trouble of thy thoughts
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: this night and sleep affects me equally. Nor can I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: like this uncouth dream of evil sprung. I fear yet evil,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: whence indeed can harbor none created pure, But know that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in the soul are many lesser faculties that serve reason,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: as chief among these fancy. Next, her office holds of
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: all external things which the five watchful senses represent. She
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: forms imagination's airy shapes, which reason joining or disjoining frames
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: all what we affirm or what deny, and calls our
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: knowledge or opinion. Then retires into her private cell. When
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: nature rests, Often her absence, mimic fancy wakes to imitate her,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: but misjoy shapes, wild work produces oft, and most in
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: dreams ill matching words and deeds long past or late.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Some such resemblances. Methinks, I find of our last evening's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: talk in this thy dream. But with addition strange, Yet
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: be not sad. Evil into the mind of God or
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: man may come and go so unapprov'd and leave no
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: spot or blame behind which gives me hope that what
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in sleep thou didst abhor to dream, waking thou never
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: wilt consent to do. Be not disheartened then, nor cloud
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: those looks that wont to be more cheerful and serene
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: than when fair morning first smiles on the world and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: let us to our fresh employments. Rise among the groves,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the fountains, and the flowers that open now their choicest
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: bosomed smells, reserved from night and kept for thee in store.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So cheered he his fair spouse, and she was cheered
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but silently. A gentle tear let fall from either eye
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and wipe them with their hair. Two other precious drops
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that ready stood, each in their crystal sluice. He ere
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: they fell, kissed as the gracious signs of sweet or
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: remorse and pious awe that feared to have offended. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: all was cleared, and to the field they haste, but
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: first from under shady arborous roof. Soon as they forth
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: were come to open sight of day spring, and the sun,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: who scarce uprisen with wheels, yet hovering o'er the ocean
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: brim shot parallel to the earth, his dewy ray, discovering
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in wide landscape, all the east of Paradise and Eden's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: happy plains. Lowly, they bowed, adoring and began their orizons
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: each morning, duly paid in various style. For neither various
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: style nor holy rapture wanted they to praise their maker
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: in fit strains pronounced or sung unmeditated. Such prompt eloquence
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: flowed from their lips in prose or numerous verse, more
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: tuneable than needed lute or harp to add more sweetness,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And they thus began. These are thy glorious works, Parent
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of good, Almighty Thine, this universal frame thus wondrous, fair
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: thy self, how wondrous then unspeakable, who sitst above these
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: heavens to us invisible or dimly seen in these thy
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: lowest works. Yet these declare thy goodness beyond thought and power.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Divine speak Ye who best can tell ye, sons of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: light angels, for ye behold him, and with songs and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: choral symphonies day without night, circle his throne, rejoicing ye
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in heaven on earth, joy all ye creatures, to extol him,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: first him last, him mits and without end bairest of stars,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: last in the train of night. If better thou belong
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: not to the dawn sure pledge of day, that crown'st
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the smiling morn with thy bright Circlet praise him in
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: thy sphere while day arises that sweet hour of prime.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Thou Sun of this great world, Both eye and soul
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: acknowledge him, thy greater sound his praise in thy eternal course,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: both when thou climb'st and when high noon hast gained,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and when thou fall'st Moon, that thou meet'st. The orient
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: sun now fliest, with the fixed stars fixed in their
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: orb that flies, and ye five other wandering fires that
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: move in mystic dance, not without song, resound his praise,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: who out of darkness call'd up light ere and ye elements,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the eldest birth of Nature's womb, that in quaternion run
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: perpetual circle, aultiform and mix and nourish all things. Let
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: your ceaseless change vary to our great makers still new.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Praise ye mists and exhalations that now rise from hill
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: or streaming lake, dusky or gray, till the sun paints
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: your fleecy skirts with gold in honor to the world's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: great author. Rise, whether to deck with clouds the uncolored sky,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: or wet the thirsty earth, with falling showers, rising or
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: falling still advance his praise, his praise, Ye winds that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: from four quarters blow, breathe soft or loud, and wave
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: your tops, ye pines, with every plant and sign of worship,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Wave fountains, and ye that warble as ye flow melodious murmurs,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: warbling tune his praise. Join voices, all, ye living souls,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Ye birds that sing up to heaven gate, ascend, bear
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: on your wings and in your notes his praise, Ye
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that in waters glide, and knee that walk the earth,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and stately tread or lowly creep, Witness, if I be
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: silent morn, or even to hill or valley, fountain or
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: fresh shade, made vocal by my song, and taught his praise,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Hail Universal Lord, be bounteous still to give us only good.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And if the night have gathered aught of evil or concealed,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: disperse it as now light dispels the dark. So prayed
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: they innocent, and to their thoughts firm peace recovered soon
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and wonted calm on to their morning's rural work. They
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: haste among sweet dews and flowers, where any row of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: fruit trees over woody reached too far their pampered boughs
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and needed hands to check fruitless embraces, or they led
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the vine to wet her elm. She spoused about him
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: twines her marriageable arms, and with her brings her dower.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: The adopted clusters to adorn his barren leaves. Them thus
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: employ'd beheld with pity Heaven's high king, and to him
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: called Raphael, the sociable spirit that deigned to travel with
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Tobias and secured his marriage with the seven times wedded maid.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Raphael said, he thou hearest what stir on earth, Satan
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: from Hell escap'd through the darksome gulf, hath raised in paradise,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And how disturb'd this night the human pair, how he
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: designs in them at once to ruin all mankind. Go
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Therefore half this day, as friend with friend, converse with
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Adam in what bower or shade thou find'st him from
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the heat of noon, retir'd to respit his day, labor
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: with repast or with repose, and such discourse bring on
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: as may advise him of his happy state, happiness, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: his power left free to will, left to his own
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: free will. His will, though free yet mutable, whence warn
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: him to beware, he swerved, not too secure. Tell him
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: withal his danger, and from whom what enemy late fallen
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: himself from heaven is plotting now the fall of others
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: from like state of bliss by violence, No, for that
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: shall be withstood but by deceit and lies. This let
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: him know, least wilfully transgressing, he pretended surprisal, unadmonished, unforewarned.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: So spake the Eternal Father, and fulfill'd all justice, Nor
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: delayed the winged saint, after his charge received, But from
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: among thousand celestial ardors, where he stood, veil'd with his
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: gorgeous wings up springing light flew through the midst of Heaven.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Angelic choirs on each hand, parting to his speed, gave
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: way through all the imperial road, till at the Gate
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of Heaven arrived. The gates self opened wide on golden hinges,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: turning as by work divine, the sovereign architect had framed
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: from hints no cloud or to obstruct his sight. Star interposed,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: however small, he sees, not unconformed to other shining globes
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Earth and the Garden of God, with cedars crowned above
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: all hills, as when by night the glass of Galileo
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: less assured observes imagine lands and relics in the moon
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: or pilot from amidst the cyclodes, Dilo Sir Samos, first
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: appearing kins a cloudy spot down thither prone in flight,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: he speeds and through the vast ethereal sky sails between
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: worlds and worlds with steady wing, now on the polar winds,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: then with quick fan winnows the buxom air till within
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: soar of towering eagles. To all the fowls, he seems
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a phoenix, gazed by all, as that soul bird. When
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to enshrine his relics in the sun's bright temple, to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Egyptian thebes, he flies at once. On the eastern cliff
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of Paradise, he lights, and to his proper shape returns
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a seraph, winged six wings, he war to shade his
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: lineaments divine. The pair that clad each shoulder broad came
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: mantling o'er his breast with regal ornament. The middle pair
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: girt like a starry zone his waste and round skirted
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: his loins and thighs with downy gold and colors dipp'd
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: in heaven. The third, his feet shadowed from either heel,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: with feathered mail sky tinctured grain. Like Maya's son, he
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: stood and shook his plumes. That heavenly fragrance filled the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: circuit wide straight knew him all the bands of angels
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: under watch, and to his state, and to his message
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: high in honor rise, For on some message high they
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: guessed him bound their glittering tints, he passed, And now
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: as come into the blissful field, through groves of myrrh
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and flowering odors, cassia, nard and balm, a wilderness of sweets,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: for nature here wantoned as in her prime, and played
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: at will her virgin fancies, pouring forth more sweet wild
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: above rule or art enormous bliss him through the spicy forest.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Onward come Adam, discerned, as in the door he sat
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: of his cool bower, while now the mounted sun shot down,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: direct his fervid rays to warm Earth's inmost womb, more
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: warmth than Adam need, and Eve within do at her hour,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: prepared for dinner, savory fruits of taste, please true appetite,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and not disrelish thirst of nectrous drafts between from milky stream,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: berry or grape, to whom thus Adam call'd haste hither,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Eve and worth thy sight behold eastward among those trees.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: What glorious shape comes this way? Moving seems another morn
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: risen on mid noon, some great behest from Heaven to us.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Perhaps he brings and will vouchsafe this day to be
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: our guest. But go with speed, and what thy stores contain,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: bring forth and pour abundance fit to honor and receive
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: our heavenly stranger. Well we may afford our givers their
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: own gifts and large bess stove from large bestowed, where
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: nature multiplies her fertile growth, and by disburdening grows more fruitful,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: which instructs us not to spare to whom, Thus Eve Adam,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Earth's hallowed mold of God inspired small store will serve
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: where store all seasons ripe for use, hangs on the stalk,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: save what by frugal storing firmness gains to nourish and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: superfluous moist consumes. But I will haste, and from each
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: bow and break each plant and juiciest gourd will pluck
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: such choice to entertain our angel guest, as he beholding,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: shall confess that here on earth, God hath dispensed his
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: bounties as in heaven. So saying, with dispatchful looks and haste,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: she turns on hospitable thoughts intent, What choice to choose
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: for delicacy best? What order so contrived as not to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: mix tastes not well joined, inelegant, but bring taste after
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: taste upheld with kindliest change bestirs her then, and from
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: each tender stalk, whatever earth, all bearing mother yields in
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: India east or west, or middle shore, in Pontus or
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the Punic coast, or where alcinous reigned, fruit of all kinds,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: in coat rough or smooth rind or bearded husk or shell,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: she gathers tribute large and on the board heaps with
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: unsparing hand for drink. The grape she crushes inoffensive most,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and meathes from many a berry and from sweet kernels
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: presst She tempers dulcet creams nor the ease to hold,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: wants her fit vessels pure, then strews the ground with
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: rose and odors from the shrub unfumed. Meanwhile, our primitive
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: great sire to meet his godlike guest, walks forth without
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: more train, accompanied than with his own complete perfections, and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: himself was all his state, more solemn than the tedious
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: pomp that waits on princes when their rich retinue, long
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of horses, lead and grooms besmeared with gold, dazzles the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: crowd and sets them all agape nearer his presence. Adam,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: though not awed yet with submiss approach and reverence meek
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: as to a superior nature. Bowing low, thus said native
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: of heav'n. For other place none can than Heaven such
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: glorious shape contain, Since by descending from the thrones above
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: those happy places, thou hast deign'd awhile to want and
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: honor these boutsafe with us too. Only who, yet, by
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: sovereign gift, possess this spacious ground in yonder shady bower
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to rest, and what the garden choicest bears to sit
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and taste, till this meridian heat be over and the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: sun more cool decline whom, thus the angelic virtue answered
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: mild Adam. I therefore came, nor art thou such created,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: or such place hast here to dwell as may not
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: oft invite, though spirits of heaven to visit thee lead on.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Then where thy bower or shades for these mid hours
• 20:06
