Migne, vol. 80, p. 307. The sentiment is more fully developed in another poem—Migne, vol. 80, p. 307:

Femina causa fuit humanae perditionis;

Qua reparatur homo, femina causa fuit.

Femina causa fuit cur homo ruit a paradiso;

Qua redit ad vitam, femina causa fuit.

Femina prima parens exosa, maligna, superba;

Femina virgo parens casta, benigna, pia.
