IT'S said, strong minded MIS-. Saturn,

Resolved TO save her babies bacon;
For saturn had q vicious habit

she gave her savage lord FOR luncheon,
A bricf-or stone, a comsstible;
And that he found IL quite digestible
Although morseI hard to crunch On.
But doubtless It's q vulgar error,
An old wife S tale 20 al with terror,
Young mothers, when too proudly simpering
Perhaps some brutal husbar DIS story

And make them still their babies whimpering.
