Conceiu’d these infants, and how them she bare[995],

In this wild forrest wandring all alone,

After she had nine moneths fulfild and gone:

For not as other wemens commune brood,

They were enwombed in the sacred throne

Of her chaste bodie, nor with commune food,

As other wemens babes, they sucked vitall blood.

But wondrously they were begot, and bred vi

Through influence of th’heauens fruitfull ray,

As it in antique bookes is mentioned.
