[Story.]

The fruit of knowledge yields three seeds
and comes to flower in three persons:
Abel, Cain, and Seth

Born of his father’s rebuke of the snake,
Jolly Abel pleases best when blood he spills.

Conceived in Eve’s seduction, a mother’s son,
Cain knows best the Garden’s flowering.

Seth of two persons born
recalls the path of Paradise
to mankind allotted.
