Then blest he man, and all, and said againe, Go breede,
And ouerswarme the world with fast-encreasing seede:
R'enhand your Princely Mace, rule, and hold hard againe
The wildest of the beasts, that erst had got the raine.
Commaund all as before, take, vse, and kill for food:
But this, beware (my sonnes) you eat no flesh in blood,
The life thereof, beware; vnto the rau'ning foule
The strangled carcasse leaue, you of so heau'nly soule.
