1099

Repairing where He judged them, prostrate fell

1100

Before Him reverent, and both confessed

1101

Humbly their faults, and pardon begged, with tears

1102

Watering the ground, and with their sighs the air

1103

Frequenting, sent from hearts contrite, in sign

1104

Of sorrow unfeigned, and humiliation meek.

The End of the Tenth Book

BOOK XI

THE ARGUMENT

The son of God presents to his Father the prayers of our first parents, now repenting, and intercedes for them. God accepts them,5750 but declares they5751 must no longer abide in Paradise; sends Michael with a band of Cherubim to dispossess them, but first to reveal to Adam future things.

Michael’s coming down.

Adam shews to Eve certain ominous signs; he discerns Michael’s approach, goes out to meet him. The Angel denounces their departure.

Eve’s lamentation. Adam pleads, but submits. The Angel leads him up to a high Hill, sets before him in vision what shall happen till the Flood.
