On Cain and Abels offerings.

Art angry Cain? what doe thy thoughts repine?
Is Abels offring better tooke then thine?
Didst not thou bring thy God a lovely prize
And crowne his Altar with a sacrifice,
Art not thou elder? did not thy offring too
Come from thy God? what more could Abell doe?
Ile tell thee Cain how Abel got the start,
He with his offring, offered up his heart.
