Sees he Eve, <strong>and</strong> doth the sly<br />
Enemie of mankind glide forward,<br />
Rising <strong>and</strong> falling foulds on his reare.<br />
Prone on the ground slides he toward<br />
Eve, addresses he his way near.<br />
Neck of verdant gold <strong>and</strong> carbuncle eyes<br />
Thus pleasing was his shape.<br />
Beguilng, he bowed his crest <strong>and</strong> begot<br />
Eye of eve to mark his play <strong>and</strong> with<br />
Gentle dumb expression turned now<br />
Unto him the thoughts of Eve <strong>and</strong> with<br />
Impulse of vocal air his tongue organic<br />
Licked the ground whereon she stood.<br />
Eve not unamazed: “what may this mean<br />
Serpent with toungue of man it seems<br />
And human sense expressed?”<br />
Now the serpent praised that Tree of<br />
Death to tempt the mind of Eve.<br />
