Hence is all wickedness and evil bred,
As here in print ye see the Devil fashioned.”
And again,—
“Out of Adam’s Apple springs
Misery, Sin, and deadly things.”
Singularly like to Milton’s Introduction (bk. i. lines 1–4),—
“Of Man’s first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden.”
