Harris, Benjamin/New England Primer/US/1688
Notes
Full poem found here: https://www.poetrynook.com/poem/adams-fall#google_vignette Harris came from England. He Published The New England Primer in Boston in 1688. The link above shows him as the author of the poem, "In Adam’s Fall", that contains this verse. It is possible that this was written by John Cotton in "Milk for Babes" in 1646. Unclear if Harris was writing or compiling or both.
