If Eve did err, it was for knowledge’ sake,
The fruit being fair persuaded him to fall.

Greatness is no sure frame to build upon,
No worldly treasure can assure that place;
God makes both even, the Cottage with the Throne.

You came not in the world without our pain,
Make that a bar against your cruelty;
Your fault being greater, why should you disdain
Our being your equals, free from tyranny?

Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum (1611)
