III. Genesis, Chap. III. to Ver. 14.

The Serpents Temptation, the Fall of our First Parents.

O Happy-Pair! —But Ah! how short your Bliss?
How soon the Foe has enter'd Paradise!
A crested Serpents speckled Form he wears,
In Mischief skill'd his Guileful Arts he shares:
Where is the Guard of Seraphs, that secures
Endanger'd Nature's tott'ring Fate, and yours?
—You make your Fate: stand now, you always stand!
The Terms of Life are no severe Command:
That Tree, that deadly Tree alone forbear,
The rest with Blessing, and with welcome share.
—'Tis pass'd, the Serpent has on Eve prevail'd:
Strengthned with such Allies he rarely fail'd:
She eats, she gives our Sire, it pleas'd his Eyes,
The tempting Flavor pleas'd, he tasts, he dies.
Groan'd the Creation, shook the Poles; and all
Convulsive Nature trembled at their Fall.
Hence all those Ills which God's fair Work deface,
Hence Sin, and Death, and Pain entail'd on all their Race.
