Prima dies hominem peperit, sanctumque secunda Natalis: pariet Mors tertia glorificatum.
MY first Birth-day brought forth a Man, in sin:
But one that could not work, nor go, nor speak.
My second did a Life of Grace begin,
But such, alas, as yet's diseased and weak.
But such, alas, as yet's diseas'd and weak.
