6. P. L. 11.589-600:

Such happy interview, and fair event

Of love and youth not lost, songs, garlands, flowers,
And charming symphonies, attached the heart
Of Adam, soon inclined to admit delight,
The bent of nature; which he thus expressed:

'True opener of mine eyes, prime Angel blest,
Much better seems this vision, and more hope
Of peaceful days portends, than those two past.
Those were of hate and death, or pain much worse;
Here nature seems fulfilled in all her ends.'

To whom thus Michael: 'Judge not what is best
By pleasure, though to Nature seeming meet.'

7. P. L. 3.455-459:

All the unaccomplished works of nature's hand,
Abortive, monstrous, or unkindly mixed,
Dissolved on earth, fleet hither, and in vain,

Till final dissolution, wander here

Not in the neighboring moon, as some have dreamed.

C. NATURE IN VARIOUS SENSES AS OPPOSED TO ART.

See II. E. 1-6; VIII. A. 1; XI. D. i. 1.
