Upon thy Belly groveling thou shalt goe,

To Satan first in sin his doom applyd

Enmitie, and between thine and her Seed; [ 180 ]

Because thou hast done this, thou art accurst [ 175 ]

When Jesus son of Mary second Eve,

Her Seed shall bruise thy head, thou bruise his heel.

The Realm it九九藏书网 self of Satan long usurpt,

Confessing soon, yet not before her Judge [ 160 ]

To Judgement he proceeded on th accusd

Captivity led captive through the Aire,

Whom he shall tread at last under our feet; [ 190 ]

Above all Cattle, each Beast of the Field;

And dust shalt eat al九_九_藏_书_网l the dayes of thy Life.

To whom sad Eve with shame nigh overwhelmd,

Though in mysterious terms, judgd as then best:

In sorrow forth, and to thy Husbands will [ 195 ]

Spoild Principalities and Powers, triumpht

And on the Serpent thus his curse let fall.

The Serpent me beguild99lib.net and I did eate.

So spake this Oracle, then verifid

Prince of the Aire; then rising from his Grave [ 185 ]

Of mischief, and polluted from the end

On Adam last thus judgement he pronouncd.

Between Thee and the Woman I will put

Eevn hee who now foretold his fatal bruise,

By thy Conception; Children thou shalt bring

As vitiated in Nature: more to know

Which when the Lord God heard, without delay

Serpent though brute, unable to transferre [ 165 ]

Nor alterd his offence; yet God at last

Thine shall submit, hee over thee shall rule.

Saw Satan fall like Lightning down from九九藏书网 Heavn,

The Guilt on him who made him instrument

Of his Creation; justly then accurst,

Concernd not Man (since he no further knew) [ 170 ]

Bold or loquacious, thus abasht replid.

And to the Woman thus his Sentence turnd.

In open shew, and with ascention bright

Thy sorrow I will greatly multiplie
