But Los saw the Female pitiedA
He embrac'd her she wept she refus'dB
In perverse and cruel delightC
She fled from his arms yet he followdC
-
Eternity shudder'd when they sawD
Man begetting his likenessE
On his own divided imageF
-
A time passed over the EternalsE
Began to erect the tentC
When Enitharmon sickG
Felt a Worm within her wombH
-
Yet helpless it lay like a WormI
In the trembling wombH
To be moulded into existenceE
-
All day the worm lay on her bosomJ
All night within her wombH
The worm lay till it grew to a serpentC
With dolorous hissings poisonsE
Round Enitharmons loins foldingK
-
Coild within Enitharmons wombH
The serpent grew casting its scalesE
With sharp pangs the hissings beganL
To change to a grating cryM
Many sorrows and dismal throesE
Many forms of fish bird beastC
Brought forth an Infant formN
Where was a worm beforeO
-
The Eternals their tent finishedC
Alarm'd with these gloomy visionsE
When Enitharmon groaningK
Produc'd a man Child to the lightC
-
A shriek ran thro' EternityC
And a paralytic strokeP
At the birth of the Human shadowC
-
Delving earth in his resistless wayQ
Howling the Child with fierce flamesE
Issu'd from EnitharmonL
-
The Eternals closed the tentC
They beat down the stakes the cordsE
Stretch'd for a work of eternityC
No more Los beheld EternityC
-
In his hands he seiz'd the infantC
He bathed him in springs of sorrowC
He gave him to EnitharmonL
