SO sportive, Atropos? what, must we see
Some Hocus-tricks? the thread of life to be
Asunder cut, and yet entire remaine?
A Body-banish'd soule recall'd againe?
Now may the nine-liv'd Sex speake high, and say
That here they fought with Death, and won the day.
The fatall Tree, which first began the strife,
Sided with them, and prov'd a Tree of life.
Another.
DEath, spare your threats, we scorne now to obey;
If Women conquer thee, surely Men may.
How came this Champion on I cannot tell,
But I nere heard of one came off so well.
