'They, looking back, all the eastern side beheld/ of paradise, so late their happy seat,/ waved over by that flaming brand; the gate/ with dreadful faces throng'd, and fiery arms./ some natural tears they dropt, but wiped them soon;/ the world was all before them where to choose/ their place of rest, and providence their guide;/ they, hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow,/ through eden took their solitary way.'
