Doe life conceiue and quickned are by kynd:

So after Nilus invndation,

Infinite shapes of creatures[997] men do fynd,

Informed in the mud, on which the Sunne hath shynd.

Great father he of generation ix

Is rightly cald, th’author of life and light;

And his faire sister for creation

Ministreth matter fit, which tempred right

With heate and humour, breedes the liuing wight.

So sprong these twinnes in wombe of Chrysogone,
