Among hulks the supreme one
Flattened the naked mast too

Of some noble ill-fate

Would have drowned miser-like

By one mans

Recover'd Paradise to all mankind,
By one mans firm obedience fully tri'd
Through all temptation, and the Tempter foil'd
In all his wiles, defeated and repuls't,
And Eden rais'd in the wast Wilderness.

surprised
my secret yet
Already the cortege moves on

It trembles in me like a bell
This heavy secret you ask now
