Newes from the Dead/Iustice would cut, but Fate unedg'd the knife

by John Hall

IUstice would cut, but Fate unedg'd the knife,
Unravel'd the vex'd thread,and repreiv'd life
Bad the astonish'd Sisters spin more years,
New-cloath their Distaffe, and lay by their Shears.
Wonders long since were in their Sepulcher,
Yet did One miracle revive with Her.
