By what sure means can I their bliss invade?By violence? No, for they are immortal made. Their reason sleeps, but mimic fancy wakes, Supplies her part, and wild ideas takes, From words and things, ill sorted and misjoined;The anarchy of thought, and chaos of the mind:Hence dreams, confused and various, may arise;These will I set before the woman's eyes;The weaker she, and made my easier prey;Vain shows and pomp the softer sex betray. [LUCIFER _sits down by_ EVE, _and seems to whisper in her ear.... _ _A Vision, where a tree rises loaden with fruit; four Spirits rise with it, and draw a canopy out of the tree; other Spirits dance about the tree in deformed shapes; after the dance an Angel enters, with a Woman, habited like_ EVE. _Angel. _ [_Singing. _]Look up, look up, and see, What heaven prepares for thee;Look up, and this fair fruit behold, Ruddy it smiles, and rich with streaks of gold. The loaded branches downward bend, Willing they stoop, and thy fair hand attend. Fair mother of mankind, make hasteAnd bless, and bless thy senses with the taste.
