- Adam alone in Paradise did grieve
and thought Eden a desert Without Eve
Until God Pittiing of his lonesome state
Crowned all his Wishes with a Loveing mate
What reason than hath Man to slight or flout her
That Could not Live in Paradise without her.

This poem is inserted into the 1670 version of Agrippa’s original work by Henry Care. It’s not in the Latin original published in 1529. Care inserts it with this note of preface “of whom thus a minor poet.” It also doesn’t occur in the 1652 edition, translated by Edward Fleetwood. The minor poet cited by Care was not found, or may be Care himself. In his preface he notes his “additions and embellishments.”
