That cryed upon this heynons witch, 

 As you shall quicklie see. 



Goochvyfe Bibber she was one, 

 And Goodwyfe Goodall two, 

 These were ye sore afflicted ones 

 By Fyts and Pynchings too : 



And those Three Damsels fair, 

 She worried them full sore. 

 As all could see upon their Arms 

 The divers Marks they bore. 



And when before the Magistrates 

 For tryall she did stand. 

 This Wicked Witch did lye to them 

 While holding up her hand : 



" I pray you all Good Gentlemen 

 Come listen unto me, 

 I never harmed those two Goodwyfes 

 Nor yet these Children Three : " 



" I call upon my Saviour Lord," 

 (Blasphemously she sayd) 

 " As Witness of my Innocence 

 In this my hour of need." 



The Godly Ministers were shockt 

 This Witch-prayer for to heare, 

 And soone did see ye Black Man* there 

 A whispering in her eare. 



The Magistrates did saye to her 

 " Most surely thou doth lye, 

 Confess thou here thy hellish deeds 

 Or ill death thou must dye." 



She rent her Cloaths, she tore her Haire, 

 And lowdly she did crye, 

 " May Christe forgive mine Enimies 

 When I am called to die." 



This Goodwyfe had a Goodman too, 

 Giles Corey was his name. 

 In Salem Gaol they shut him in 

 AVith his blasphemous Dame.
