To Mris. M. M. Deliver'd of a Daughter, after the Death of two Sons
March, 1. 1659.
The
Eastern Sages, guided by their Star
Brought less Devotion (though they came from farr)
To greet their new born Man-child God, then I
To Gratulate your safe Delivery,
Brought less Devotion (though they came from farr)
180
To Gratulate your safe Delivery,
Hence as a guerdon for your single-worth
May you need no deliverer, but bring forth
And let your num'erous off-spring grow to be
The Hope and Pride of all Posterity!
May you need no deliverer, but bring forth
And let your num'erous off-spring grow to be
The Hope and Pride of all Posterity!
Sure God consider'd it, and in this one
For two be took, made Restitution.
Thrice blessed be that Womb! whose plenteous Birth
Can furnish heaven, & yet people Earth.
For two be took, made Restitution.
Thrice blessed be that Womb! whose plenteous Birth
Can furnish heaven, & yet people Earth.
