A thousand Souls these Miscreants did drown;
A couple (with five Children) first they hung,
And in a Hole th' expiring bodies flung;
The youngest on the Mothers breast did stick,
Cries, Mammy, Mammy, yet is buried quick.
Cries, Mammy, Mammy, yet is buryed quick.
Some hacked to pieces, travailing Women stripped,
