Forbore, to an returnd:
So strange tcry, and trange
terposest, t my sudden hand
Prevented spares to tell t by deeds
it intends; till first I knohee, [ 740 ]
t, thus double-formd, and why
In t met t
Me Fat Fantasm callst my Son?
I kno, nor ever saill now
Sigestable thee. [ 745 ]
t wress of e replyd;
t me then, and do I seem
Nohine eye so foul, once deemd so fair
In t
Of all thee combind [ 750 ]
In bold conspiracy against heavns King,
All on a sudden miserable pain
Surprisd thine eyes, and dizzie swumm
In darkness, w
till on t side opning wide, [ 755 ]
Likest to tnance bright,
then shining heavnly fair, a Goddess armd
Out of t seisd
All t of hey recoild affraid
At first, and calld me Sin, and for a Sign [ 760 ]
Portentous familiar grown,
I pleasd, and tractive graces won
t averse, t

Becamst enamourd, and sucookst [ 765 ]

A growing burden. Mean while arr arose,
And fields in heavn; wherein remaind
(For o our Almighty Foe
Cleer Victory, to our part loss and rout [ 770 ]
they fell
Drivn ch of heaven, down
Into the general fall
I also; at his powerful Key
Into my o keep [ 755 ]
tes for ever s, which none can pass
it my opning. Pensive
Alone, but long I sat not, till my womb
Pregnant by thee, and now excessive grown
Prodigious motion felt and rueful throes. [ 780 ]
At last t
tten, breaking violent way
tore trails, t h fear and pain
Distorted, all my nethus grew
transformd: but he my inbred enemie [ 785 ]
Fortal Dart
Made to destroy: I fled, and cryd out Death;
rembld at the hideous Name, and sighd
From all h.
I fled, but seems, [ 790 ]
Inflamd ter far,
Mee overtook her all dismaid,
And in embraces forcible and foule
Ingendring rape begot
ters t h ceasless cry [ 795 ]
Surround me, as t, hourly conceivd
And e

t bred turn, and howle and gnaw
My Bo; ting forth [ 800 ]
A freserrours vex me round,
t rest or intermission none I find.
