Encountering on some dizzy precipice

With lightning eyes, and eager breath, and feet
Disturbing not the drifted snow, had paused

Metals of drossiest ore to perfect gold,
As from the mine. Mean while at table Eve
Ministered naked, and their flowing cups
With pleasant liquours crowned: O innocence
Deserving Paradise! if ever, then,
Then had the sons of God excuse to have been
Enamoured at that sight; but in those hearts
Love unlibidinous reigned, nor jealousy

A Mightier than He --
Has ministered before Him --
