| Edward Farr, ed. Select Poetry of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth. 1845. | | | | How Sathan by the Sinne of Pride Hath Euer Preuailed | | LXII. William Warner |
| | | THE SINNE of pride made Lucifer | |
| ’Gainst God himself rebell; | |
| And through that sin he so seduc’t, | |
| That Adam also fell. | |
| |
| Then plaid he Rex ore all the earth, | 5 |
| Except a faithfull fewe, | |
| Till Christ incarnate on the cross | |
| Synne’s kingdome did subdue. | |
| |
| Then Christ was powreful in the world, | |
| For faith had practice right; | 10 |
| And what more could our ghostly foe | |
| Than faith and practice spight? | |
| |
| His auncient stratageme, therefore, | |
| To plant he casts anew, | |
| And from the pride of only workes | 15 |
| From faith a many drew. | | | | |
