Hotsp.

Oh, then the Earth shooke

To see the Heauens on fire,

And not in feare of your Natiuitie.

Diseased Nature oftentimes breakes forth

In strange eruptions; and the teeming Earth

Is with a kinde of Collick pincht and vext,

By the imprisoning of vnruly Winde

Within her Wombe: which for enlargement striuing,

Shakes the old Beldame Earth, and tombles downe

Steeples, and mosse‑growne Towers. At your Birth,

Our Grandam Earth, hauing this distemperature,

In passion shooke.
