Picture VI.
The Birth of Sin.
All on a sudden miserable pain
Surpris'd thee, dim thine eyes, and dizzy swam
In darkness, while thy head flames thick and fast
Threw forth, till on the left side opening wide,
Likest to thee in shape and count'nance bright,
Then shining heav'nly fair, a Goddess arm'd
Out of thy head I sprung.——
Book II. v. 752.

Picture VII.
Sin pursued by Death.
——I fled, and cry'd out Death;
I fled, but he pursued——
——And swifter far
Me overtook.—— Book II. v. 787.
