genesis, chapter 3 and paradise lost, book x
john milton

genesis 3: 12-13

and the man said, the woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and i did eat. and the lord god said unto the woman, what is this that thou hast done? and the woman said, the serpent beguiled me, and i did eat.

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.

Select the correct answer. in this excerpt from "a modest proposal" by johnathan swift, what does the author list? i can think of no one objection, that will possibly be raised against this proposal, unless it should be urged, that the number of people will be thereby much lessened in the kingdom. this i freely own, and 'twas indeed one principal design in offering it to the world. i desire the reader will observe, that i calculate my remedy for this one individual kingdom of ireland, and for no other that ever was, is, or, i think, ever can be upon earth. therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound: of using neither cloaths, nor houshold furniture, except what is of our own growth and manufacture: of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that promote foreign luxury: of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women: of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence and temperance: of learning to love our country, wherein we differ even from laplanders, and the inhabitants of topinamboo: of quitting our animosities and factions, nor acting any longer like the jews, who were murdering one another at the very moment their city was taken: of being a little cautious not to sell our country and consciences for nothing: of teaching landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants. lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill into our shop-keepers, who, if a resolution could now be taken to buy only our native goods, would immediately unite to cheat and exact upon us in the price, the measure, and the goodness, nor could ever yet be brought to make one fair proposal of just dealing, though often and earnestly invited to it. a. reforms that had failed to improve ireland's situation b. the unrealistic measures discussed by irish government officials c. viable measures that could improve ireland's situation d. measures that would unify the populace of ireland
