Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost

The epic poem "Paradise Lost" written by John Milton in the 17th-century tells the biblical story of the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden. The temptation of Adam and Eve is described in this famous poem in blank verse:

Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit,
Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast
Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing Heavâ€™nly Muse, that on the secret top
Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
In the Beginning how the Heavâ€™ns and Earth
Rose out of Chaos: Or if Sion Hill
Delight thee more, and Siloaâ€™s Brook that flowâ€™d
Fast by the Oracle of God; I thence
Invoke thy aid to my adventrous Song,
That with no middle flight intends to soar
Above thâ€™ Aonian Mount, while it pursues
Things unattempted yet in Prose or Rhime.
