Page 287 - They from th' included Yolk, not ambient White arose. There are who think the Marrow of a Man, Which in the Spine, while he was living ran; When dead, the Pith corrupted will become A Snake, and hiss within the hollow Tomb. All these receive their Birth from other Things; But from himself the Phoenix only springs: Self-born, begotten by the Parent Flame...
