The one that is closest to Christian beliefs would be "... Conceived by a pair of those monsters born/Of Cain, murderous creatures...". It would be this because in the Christian belief Cain was given a mark that should he was a murderer, and his descendants would feel the wrath of that mark, a nation of murderers.
