Newes from the Dead/In puellam ὑϛερόποτμον à patibulo reviviscentem

by Daniel Danvers

In puellam ὑϛερόποτμον à patibulo reviviscentem.

QUæ nuper Medicos vespillonesq́ꝫ fefellit,
Et non unius victima mortis erat,
Quàm benè Netricis titulum meruisse putanda est,
Cùm poterat stamen sic renovare suum?

Englished thus:

Thou more then Mortall, that with many lives
Hast mock't the Sexton, and the Doctors knives:
The name of Spinster thou maist justly wed,
Since there's no Halter stronger then thy Thread.

To the same.

Thou, thine owne Clotho, that knew'st not to feele
The darts of Death, yet woar'st no Buffe,nor Steele.
If with such Art thou canst thy Distaffe rule,
The Souldiers all to thee shall go to Schoole.

Dan.Danvers, Coll,Trin.Alum.
