Who ere while the happy garden sung, -

By one man's disobedience loft, now sing 26

Recover'd paradise to all mankind, 9

By one man's firm obedience fully try'd

Through all temptation, and the tempter foil'd 4

In all his wiles, defeated and repuls'd,
.
And Eden rais'd in the waste wilderness.

Thou spirit who ledst this glorious eremite
Into the defart, his victorious field

Against the spiritual foe, and brought'st him thence 8

By proof the undoubted Son of God, inspire, $

As thou art wont, my prompted song else mute, 8

And bear through height or depth of nature's bounds E.

With prosperous wing full summ’d to tell of deeds
Above heroic, though in secret done,
And unrecorded left through many an age,
Worthy t’have not remain’d so long unsung.

Now had the great proclaimer with a voice 7 More awful than the sound of trumpet, cry'd ..

Repentance, and heaven's kingdom nigh at hand 9 To all baptiz’d: to his great baptism flock'd 3 With awe the regions round, and with them came

From Nazareth the son of Joseph deemid

To the flood Jordan came, as then obscure,
F. Unmark’d, unknown; but him the baptist foon
