Gods Curse against the Serpent.
Because thou hast thus subtilty deludedThe lustful woman, thou shalt be excluded
From future good; more shall thy curses yield
Then all the beasts and cattle in the field:
Thy belly shall (because thou hast done this)
Give to the earth a life-remaining kiss;
Thou shalt not taste of any thing that's good,
Dust shall supply the place of wholesome food.
Curst be thy ways, thou shalt no more be seen
By me: I will put enmity between
34
A bruised head, and she a bruised heel.
