From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Babe
     used of children generally (Matt. 11:25; 21:16; Luke 10:21; Rom.
     2:20). It is used also of those who are weak in Christian faith
     and knowledge (1 Cor. 3:1; Heb. 5:13; 1 Pet. 2:2). In Isa. 3:4
     the word "babes" refers to a succession of weak and wicked
     princes who reigned over Judah from the death of Josiah downward
     to the destruction of Jerusalem.
     

From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) [devils]:

  BABE or :BABY:, n.  A misshapen creature of no particular age, sex, or
  condition, chiefly remarkable for the violence of the sympathies and
  antipathies it excites in others, itself without sentiment or emotion. 
  There have been famous babes; for example, little Moses, from whose
  adventure in the bulrushes the Egyptian hierophants of seven centuries
  before doubtless derived their idle tale of the child Osiris being
  preserved on a floating lotus leaf.
  
              Ere babes were invented
              The girls were contended.
              Now man is tormented
      Until to buy babes he has squandered
      His money.  And so I have pondered
              This thing, and thought may be
              'T were better that Baby
      The First had been eagled or condored.
                                                                 Ro Amil
