Some Natural Tears They Dropp'd, But Wip'd Them Soo

Some natural tears they dropp'd, but wip'd them soon;
The world was all before them, where to choose
Their place of rest, and Providence their guide.
They hand in hand, with wand'ring steps and slow,
Through Eden took their solitary way.
-- John Milton (1608-1674)
-- Paradise Lost, Book xii, Line 645
