Of the Starre which the Magi did worship at Christes Natiuitie, and of his death.

I blaze that starre, which was no blazing starre,
But the true figure of eternall life,
The prince of peace was borne then ceased warre,
His birthes beginning ended mortall strife,
This glorious starre did lead the aged wise
To worship th'Infants Godhead in the East,
Which came with gladsome heart & ioyfull eyes,
To see that Babe that made all Israell blest:
O light of Heauen thou wast extinct on earth,
Yet to our soules Celestiall life doth giue
Thy death our life, thy rising our new birth
Thou three daies dead didst make vs euer liue,
Yet at thy death obscur'd was th'earth and skie,
Because he that was God, as man did die.
