paradise lost, book x, 124-162
adam sore beset repli'd. o heav'n! in evil strait this day i stand125 before my judge, either to undergoe my self the total crime, or to accuse my other self, the partner of my life; whose failing, while her faith to me remaines, i should conceal, and not expose to blame130 by my complaint; but strict necessitie subdues me, and calamitous constraint least on my head both sin and punishment, however insupportable, be all devolv'd; though should i hold my peace, yet thou135 wouldst easily detect what i conceale. this woman whom thou mad'st to be my , and gav'st me as thy perfet gift, so good, so fit, so acceptable, so divine, that from her hand i could suspect no ill,140 and what she did, whatever in it self, her doing seem'd to justifie the deed; shee gave me of the tree, and i did eate.
to whom the sovran presence thus repli'd. was shee thy god, that her thou didst obey145 before his voice, or was shee made thy guide, superior, or but equal, that to her thou did'st resigne thy manhood, and the place wherein god set thee above her made of thee, and for thee, whose perfection farr excell'd150 hers in all real dignitie: adornd she was indeed, and lovely to attract thy love, not thy subjection, and her gifts were such as under government well seem'd, unseemly to beare rule, which was thy part155 and person, hadst thou known thy self aright.
so having said, he thus to eve in few: say woman, what is this which thou hast done?
to whom sad eve with shame nigh overwhelm'd, confessing soon, yet not before her judge160 bold or loquacious, thus abasht repli'd. the serpent me beguil'd and i did eate.
