III
End of Chapter One
Insofar a day, while he was sleeping,
God took one of his ribs from his right side
And close up its place with flesh, according
Not to keep him alone, such a grac’ful glide
became a woman, companion cleaving:
On body and soul with man equal inside
and ‘t was a joy! But from that happiness
Adam had soon be wak’n on bitterness!
In truth, as I have already said,
it was the snake the deceiving actor,
who convinced Eve to be so mad
to eat the fruit that the Good Factor
had forbidden; and she convinced her lad
they would have become like a professor
of science and art of evil and good !
That fruit so became the damned food!
End of First Part
To be continued with God’s malediction and the descendents of Adam and Eve
God took one of his ribs from his right side
And close up its place with flesh, according
Not to keep him alone, such a grac’ful glide
became a woman, companion cleaving:
On body and soul with man equal inside
and ‘t was a joy! But from that happiness
Adam had soon be wak’n on bitterness!
In truth, as I have already said,
it was the snake the deceiving actor,
who convinced Eve to be so mad
to eat the fruit that the Good Factor
had forbidden; and she convinced her lad
they would have become like a professor
of science and art of evil and good !
That fruit so became the damned food!
End of First Part
To be continued with God’s malediction and the descendents of Adam and Eve
