A god and yet a man?

A maide and yet a mother?

Wit wonders what wit can 

conceave, this or the other.

A god, and can he die?

A dead man, can he live?

What wit can well replye?

What reason, reason give?

God, Truth itselfe doth teach it;

Man's wit, sinks too far under 

reason's power to reach it:

Beleeve and leave to wonder.
