It were a goodly storie, to declare,
2 By what straunge accident faire Chrysogone
Conceiu'd these infants, and how she them bare,
4 In this wild forrest wandring all alone,
After she had nine moneths fulfild and gone:
6 For not as other wemens commune brood,
They were enwombed in the sacred throne
8 Of her chaste bodie, nor with commune food,
As other wemens babes, they sucked vitall blood.
