Classic Poem

“THE woman gave, and I did eat.”
Whereof gave she?
“'Twas of the garden fruitage sweet—
A portion fair to see;
She plucked and ate, and I did eat,
And lost alike are we;
God saith,
Ye die the death!

“The woman gave, and I did eat.”
Whereof gave she?
“'Twas of her womb a Burden sweet—
But sad, alas, to see;
She took and ate, and I did eat,
And saved alike are we;
God saith,
So dieth Death!”
