Then said God, "Because thou hast broken my command, for ðhu min bode-word haues broken, ðhu ſalt ben ut in ſorge luken, thou shalt till thy meat with toil, and eat thy bread with sweat and tears, In ſwinc ðu ſalt tilen ði mete[n], ðin bred wid ſwotes t_e_res eten, 364 until thou come again to the earth. Til gu[102] beas eft in to erðe cumen, Q_u_er-of gu[102] beaſ to manne numen; [Fol. 8] Woman shall be under man, and have sorrow in every birth. And wif ſal under were wunen, In heu_er_ilc birðhe ſorge numen; 368 The adder shall glide on his breast and eat earth. And niðful neddre, loð an liðer, ſal gliden on hiſe breſt neðer And erðe freten wile he mai liuen, Poison shall cleave to his tongue. And atter on is tunge cliuen; 372 Envy, strife, hate, and shame shall be between the adder and the woman." And nið, and ſtrif, and ate, and ſan, Sal ben bi-twen neddre and wi_m_man; And get ſal wi_m_man ou_er_cumen, His heued under fote bi-numen." 376 Two pilches the angels wrought for Adam and Eve, Two pilches weren ðurg engeles wrogt, And to adam and to eue brogt, so that their shame might be hid. ðor-wið he ben nu boðen ſrid, And here ſame ſumdel is hid. 380 [102] _read_ ðu? EVE BEGETS CAIN AND ABEL, AND OTHER CHILDREN. They were turned out of Paradise. He ben don ut of paradiſ, ðat erd al ful of ſwete bliſ; He ben don ut of bliſſes erd, Cherubim closed the gates. Cherubin hauet ðe gateſ ſperd; 384 Never shall they be undone till Christ is crucified.
