[She saw; she took; she ate]

When the woman saw that the tree was good, &c. —iii. 6.

She saw; she took; she ate;
Death enter'd by the eye:
And parleying in a tempted state,
We lust; consent; and die!

But all mankind restored
Their Eden may retrieve:
And lo, by faith we see our Lord,
We touch, and taste, and live!
