“O thou who read'st what 's written here, Commiserate the lot severe,    By which, compell'd, I write them. In vain Sophia I withstand, For Anna adds her dread command;    I tremble—and indite them. {{pb}} Blame Eve, who, feeble to withstand One single devil, rais'd her hand,    And gather'd our damnation; But do not me or Adam blame, Tempted by two, who did the same—    His Wife—and her Relation.”
