1 Is't not a Wonder a Woman, As Holy Writ does say, Should in such sort compass a Man, Who with Man never lay?
2 To see him whom the World did make, Of a poor Virgin born! To see him who was God most high, Left like to one forlorn!
3 To see the Heir of both the Worlds In a base Manger lye; And Blessedness it self to be Doomed to misery!
4 To see the Ancient of all days, A Babe of a day old! ⟨p. 120⟩To see one Person God and Man The wonder doth unfold!
