Till the then climing serpent, that now creeps
85For that offence, for which all mankinde weepes,
Tooke it, and t'her whom the first man did wive
(Whom and her race, only forbiddings drive)
He gave it, she, t'her husband, both did eate;
So perished the eaters, and the meate:
90And wee (for treason taints the blood) thence die and sweat.

Man all at once was there by woman slaine,
And one by one we'are here slaine o'er againe
