Ne ought we doubt how Nature may recover

In her own ashes long time buried,

For nought can ever consume that centrall power

Of hid spermatick life, which lies not dead

In that rude heap, but safely covered;

And doth by secret force suck from above

Sweet heavenly juice, and therewith nourished

Till her just bulk, she doth her life emprove,

Made mother of much children that about her move.
