 And Antedates by this Mysterious Birth

Her Resurrection: Borne-again from Earth.

Hippolytus Revived in every Part,

But 'twas by Magick, or Poëtick Art:

Sibylla Saw, then Left the Ghosts below;

But Shee did In, not From the Body Goe:

The Shades sent back Eurydice to Day,

But Fainting Shee Return'd scarce halfe the Way.

This Wonder surmounts All: See, here is bred

Posthumous Life ev'n when the Mothers dead.

Part Dyed before, part Survived after Breath;

The Enbryo's Birth's Abortive, and Her death.

Orpheus, and Æsculape were here Outvyed,

'Cause both their Arts Concenter'd in one Guide.

Suiters Courage, All's purg'd by Sacrifice:

The Parent slaine, doth not a Virgin Rise?

Forgetfull Shee did Gallow Lotos Trye,

And Lethe tast: Let All crye Amnesty.

For who can think her Guilty, whom the Tombe

Does thus declare unworthy of her Doome?

Whom Law, whom Physick could not kill, whose Date

Souldiers Repriev'd, Three Committées of Fate?

If yee doubt still, her Dying Words Receive

How e're, Distrust her Risen must Believe.
