Newes from the Dead/The Womans Case put to the Lawyers

by John Watkins

The Womans Case put to the Lawyers.

MOther, or Maid, I pray you whether?
One, or both, or am I neither?
The Mother dyed: may't not be said
That the Surviver is a Maid?
Here, take your Fee, declare your sense;
And free me from this New Suspense.

Joh. Watkins, Eq. Aur. fil. Coll. Reg.
