Eve's Serpent

 

 

 

I recount the manner of the Serpent

Who crept on his belly and was from the beginning numbered

Who with the astonishment of an apple beguiled Eve our Mother

Who absconded the Garden of Eden

Who from Moses rod mesmerized and bewildered Pharaoh

Who became a scourge of venomous vipers in Numbers

Who became unpleasant to the heels of those who in the wilderness tempted God

Who was made unto an image of redemption for they in Numbers scourged

Who is in Job counted for his crooked ways

Who crept on his belly from the Old Testament and entered the New Testament undaunted

Who was to a generation of doubtful Pharisees compared in Matthew

Who in ensample suffered no consideration by evil men as substitute for fish

Who fastened himself unto Paul’s hand in Acts, and was by him ignored and in seminal fashion shaken into fire

Who was bound up for a thousand years in The Revelation

I seal the manner of the Serpent

Who crept on his belly and was at the end numbered
