Adam Consider Adam, made by God's own finger,
And not begotten of man's unclean seed,
He that in Eden was allowed to linger
— Now call Damascus — and had power at need
Over all Paradise, save that decreed
And single tree prohibited. Than he
None ever on earth stood higher, till his deed
Drove him to labour, Hell and misery.
