Another part became the well of sense,

The tender, well-armed feeling brain, from whence

Those sinew strings which do our bodies tie

Are ravelled out; and fast there by one end

Did this Soul limbs, these limbs a Soul attend;

And now they joined, keeping some quality

Of every past shape; she knew treachery,

Rapine, deceit, and lust, and ills enough

To be a woman: Themech she is now,

Sister and wife to Cain, Cain that first did plough.
