THE FIRST FALL.
BIZ A. KNIGHT.

L"All mankind having sprunglfrom Adam
By natural descent, sinnsd in him, and fell
with him, in his first tr an$gresston."l
He fell from grace and lost his place
In Eden's pleasant shade,
AS twas his choice to heed the voice
OF that once beauteous maid.
The serpent came and played the game
That Eve believed was true,
She heard the snake and did partake,
To her the blame was due.
The fatal tree they both could see,-
No wall excludes the dame;
It's scent was sweet, she longed to eat
No sword to guard the same.
The Devil knew just what to do,
To foil Gods noble plan,
Assumed the snake, made Eve partaks.
And, through her, ruined man. ~
Old Satan knew what God would do, ~
Who did his vigils keep, y
His end was gained while God remained
Upon his couch asleep.
at cool Of day he came that way
To see his new-made pair,
his VOICE WcHL OUT III SlSnaI bAOub,-~
Move or Adam there ~Es1
But soon they came, disclosed their shame
Their fgleaf aprons too;
They saw not why they both should die
For needing what was true
FOR, with their shame, their knowledg
came,
OF good end evil. too;
The Scrpent's word, which they had heard
Was demonstrated true easS
God told them they should de that day,A
The Serpent told them MOI
"You then shall see like Gods you'll be.
And God well knows tits so."t ~
The Gods declare In sheer despair,
"Man is like one OF us,
Lest he learn more, and Heaven explore,
Let US pronounce curse
The Devil saw--disclosed the flaw,
In Gods eternal plan;
'Tis true man fell, but not to AcU,
Deny it, If you can
