Newes from the Dead/Admire not, 'tis no newes

by Robert Sharrock

Admire not, 'tis no newes, nere think it strange,
Twere wonder if a Woman should not change.
They have mysterious wayes, and their designes
Must be read backward still, like Hebrew lines.
See, these with Death dissemble, and can cheat
Charon himselfe to mak a faire retreat.
Well, for this trick Ile never so be led
As to beleive a Woman, though shee's dead.
