Book II, 3: On Moses Birth and Death

We read; no sooner new-borne Moses crept
Into this vale of Teares, but th'Infant wept;
But, being warned of his Death, his Last,
We find it storied, that he sung as fast:
These sev'rall Passions found their reason, why;
He dy'd to live, but he was borne to dye:
To whom this Transitory life shall bring
Just cause to weepe; there, death gives cause to sing.
