Great father he of generation

And his faire sister for creation
4 Ministreth matter fit, which tempred right
With heate and humour, breedes the liuing wight.

Yet wist she nought thereof, but sore affright,
8 Wondred to see her belly so vpblone,
Which still increast, till she her terme had full outgone.
