Poet Analysis

First Line: THE FIRST BIRTH, MARY, WAS UNTO A TOMB
Last Line: THAT CANST GIVE SAINTS AS WELL AS KINGS A BIRTH.
Subject(s): BIRTH; CHILD BIRTH; MIDWIFERY;
The first birth, Mary, was unto a tomb,
And sad Lucina cheated thy blest womb.
To heaven thou then wert fruitful, now to earth;
That canst give saints as well as kings a birth.
