Eve

Lonely Adam became happy, loving God wanted to see, so, from his rib He fashioned the first woman, me. The beguiler of men, I became his brave wife, nurturing the Garden of Eden we had wonderful life. Deceived by a snake that was Satan in vile disguise, we ate the forbidden fruit to become Godlike and wise. I knew we had sinned, and were in disgraceful shame, expelled from Eden by God, a cursed couple we became. For my fault I got a life of sorrow and childbirth travail, and God made the power of Adam on me to prevail. The mother of all living, I was happy on the contrary, being the prefigurement of the mother of Jesus, Mary.
