3. On Moses Birth and Death.
We read; no sooner new-borne Moses creptInto this vale of Teares, but th'Infant wept;
But, being warned of his Death, his Last,
We find it storied, that he sung as fast:
These sev'rall Passions found their reason, why;
He dy'd to live, but he was borne to dye:
To whom this Transitory life shall bring
Iust cause to weepe; there, death gives cause to sing.
