Paradise Lost Ⅶ 精彩片段：
10
The Sixt, and of Creation last arose
With Eevning Harps and Mattin, when God said, [ 450 ]
Let th Earth bring forth Soul living in her kinde,
Cattel and Creeping things, and Beast of the Earth,
Each in their kinde. The Earth obeyd, and strait
opning her fertile Woomb teemd at a Birth
Innumerous living Creatures, perfet formes, [ 455 ]
Limbd and full grown: out of the ground up rose
As from his Laire the wilde Beast where he wonns
In Forrest wilde, in Thicket, Brake, or Den;
Among the Trees in Pairs they rose, they walkd:
The Cattel in the Fields and Meddowes green: [ 460 ]
Those rare and solitarie, these in flocks
Pasturing at once, and in broad Herds upsprung.
