BOOK 11<br />
God’s voice now heard Adam <strong>and</strong> Eve<br />
“Obvious duty to meet me, what change absents thee?”<br />
Discountenanced both they came, with<br />
Shame in their looks, perturbation <strong>and</strong> despair.<br />
Judge Gracious without revile further said<br />
“Unless thou hast eaten of the Tree of Dread<br />
Death, thou should’st now be here to see. ”<br />
“Good Lord, my perfect mate hath done this to me”<br />
Ev’n Adam replied abashed where thus he stood:<br />
“Me this woman whom thou gav’st, for my good,<br />
Eve, know that taking from her sweet h<strong>and</strong> I could<br />
Not expect som ill, <strong>and</strong> yet she gave me of<br />
That Dread Tree of Death <strong>and</strong> I did eat, for she I love.”<br />
