Two against One.

I

Our Grandsire Adam was full sad,
Whilst he liv'd all alone;
On t'other hand, he grew quite mad,
When once he Eve had known.

II

He needs must let his Fair-One go,
To ramble out, we find;
The Devil pick'd her up; and so
They both against him join'd.

III

'Twas Two to One! What could he do;
In short, the Man was cheated.
Had he been Wise, or she been True,
The Devil had been defeated.
