Must our dear Infants lose their harmless lives
In f•aming Faggots, or with Popish Knives?
Must guiltless blood through all our Streets rebound
Must guiltless bloud through all our Streets rebound
A mournful Echo? must the horrid sound
Of Axes, Whips, and dreadful Scourges tear
Our aching hearts, and pierce the yielding Air!
