For that greatest of guilt; God’s wrath they knew

And bitter remorse; hence bearing their crimes,

410 Their sons must suffer for the sin of their parents

Against God’s commands. Hence, grieved in soul

They shall lose the delights of the land of bliss

Through envy of the serpent who deceived our elders

In direful wise in days of yore

415 Through his wicked heart, so that they went far hence

To the dale of death to doleful life

In a sorrowful home. Hidden from them
