Mischiefe pursues the steps that false do proue,
In the firme couenant of sinlesse loue.

Vnhappie we, his gracelesse sonnes that were
The rods of heau’n’s reuenge for his misdeed,
Did the reward of our rebellion beare,
In vs our father’s curse, the plaguefull meed
Of disobedience after did succeed,
The rods, with which Ioue executes his ire,
He oft in iudgement casts into the fire.
