Of Evil's followers, Guilt, though more or less,
They had their share of what the others left
Behind,—Care, Pain, and Anguish,—for the doom
Pronounced on Man was on them, but they knew

With a pure conscience and unspotted mind,
To their endurance will be tempered still,
And, in due season, turn to lasting good,
Which to their spirits consolation brought.
The valley watered was with goodly rivers,
