Hmm, so the stale crib was in Bethlehem? I must admit Catharine's analysis makes more sense to me than any other reading. FWIW, I initially read it as being the murder of an older woman not a child. It appeals to me a bit more now, but mostly just with admiration of the skill of disguising one sort of poem so completely as another. Still not sure why one would want to in this way.
