120. The Divine Paradox
A God and yet a man?
A mayde and yet a mother?
Witt wonders what witt Can
Conceave this or the other.
A mayde and yet a mother?
Witt wonders what witt Can
Conceave this or the other.
A god, and Can he die?
A dead man, can he live?
What witt can well replie?
What reason reason give?
A dead man, can he live?
What witt can well replie?
What reason reason give?
God, truth itselfe, doth teach it;
Mans witt senckis too farr vnder
By reasons power to reach it.
Beleeve and leave to wonder!
Mans witt senckis too farr vnder
By reasons power to reach it.
Beleeve and leave to wonder!
