I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:

imparadis't in one anothers arms

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?
