He feasted her with ease and idle food
  Of gods, and taught her lusts to fill the whole
Of life; withal He gave her nothing good,
  And left her as He made her—without soul.

And lo, when he had held her for a season
  In His own pleasure-palaces above,
He gave her unto man; this is the reason
  She is so fair to see, so false to love.
