Oh sick! oh saint! alas my sight doth faile, My Members tremble and my Spirits quaile; Oh what a chilnesse doth my heart oppresse, But what the cause of't is, I know you'le guesse 'Tis this most hedious Birth doth me a maze, And much torment me when on it I gaze:
But more when as I thinke what men will conster, To see th'expected Babe of Grace prove Monster.

BY Mercurius Melancholicus.
