WITCH!
Raise holy fire your spirit’s proof
And hold to faith that heaven’s Judge
Eternity your soul command
J’accuse! with 13 women found
in midnight light held Satan’s feast
*to gain the herbs that heal and mend*
J’accuse! that in your devil’s curse
And hex you froze the farmer’s arm
*with spider bite the beatings stopped*
J’accuse! plying young maids such tales
Of love ribald corrupt their souls
*to learn that both should pleasure take*
J’accuse! that from first mother’s birth
The baby steal as devil’s toll
*to spare the mother stillborn pain*
J’accuse! in herbal taint dissuade
The womb no child to hold or bare
*would kill good wife to bare again*
Raise holy fire your spirit’s proof
And hold to faith that heaven’s Judge
Eternity your soul command
