Thy praise hee also who forbids thy use,<\/a> [750]
\nConceals not from us,<\/a> naming thee the Tree
\nOf Knowledge, knowledge both of good and evil;
\nForbids us then to taste, but his forbidding
\nCommends thee more, while it inferrs the good
\nBy thee communicated, and our want: [755]
\nFor good unknown, sure is not had, or had
\nAnd yet unknown, is as not had at all.
\nIn plain then what forbids he but to know,
\nForbids us good, forbids us to be wise?
\nSuch prohibitions bind not.<\/a>[\/] But if Death<\/a> [760]
\nBind us with after-bands, what profits then
\nOur inward freedom?<\/a> In the day we eat
\nOf this fair Fruit, our doom is, we shall die.
\nHow dies the Serpent? hee hath eat’n and lives,
\nAnd knows, and speaks, and reasons, and discerns,<\/a> [765]
\nIrrational till then. For us alone
\nWas death invented? or to us deni’d
\nThis intellectual food, for beasts reserv’d?<\/a>
\nFor Beasts it seems: yet that one Beast which first
\nHath tasted, envies not, but brings with joy [770]
\nThe good befall’n him, author unsuspect,
\nFriendly to man, far from deceit or guile.
\nWhat fear I then, rather what know to fear
\nUnder this ignorance of good and Evil,<\/a>
\nOf God or Death, of Law or Penalty?\u00a0 [775]
\nHere grows the Cure of all, this Fruit Divine,
\nFair to the Eye, inviting to the Taste,
\nOf virtue to make wise: what hinders then
\nTo reach, and feed at once both Body and Mind?<\/p>\n
