And she (with other purpose) kill'd it quite;

Her sinne had now brought in infirmities,

165And so her cradled child, the moist red eyes

Had never shut, nor slept since it saw light;

Poppie she knew, she knew the mandrakes might,

And tore up both, and so coold her childs blood;

Unvirtuous weeds might long unvex'd have stood;

170But hee's short liv'd, that with his death can doe most good.
