| The Midwife's / Maid's Lamentation, / In NEWGATE. / Or her continual fear of the Devil tearing her alive out / of the Bed every Night. / To murder poor young Infants is a Crime, / Was hardly ever heard since Herod's time, / Till now by this same Midwife and her Maid, / Who many years young Children have destroy'd. | |
