- As I gazed out my Window Glass
Matthew Hopkins Did by me pass
I asked him, pray, where was he Going
said he, Only Satan may be knowing
and by his Side there walk'd a Man
in a way that only Satan can
and in his eye a wicked Gleam
that proved he was high in Satan's esteem.
Art thou a witch? he asked askance,
or rogue or Ghoul or ghost or Nonce?
Quoth I, I am sainted AUGUSTINE
and thou art but a Daemon Swine
PALE his face that moment went
all his evil powers spent
I took some water from a shelf
and pour'd it onto the Hopkins elf.
at this the Hopkin he did shriek
and writhing, did he grow a beak
then after a beastly croke
the monstre disappeared in smoke
THIS proves how GOD and Church prevail
AND Daemons and sinners can do naught but wail.
FOR torment you a crone of Christian disposition
THEN surely your doom Christ will make his mission. (en)
