Mole. 
TEMPEST, iv. I, 194. 
A Motz is a little beast somewhat like unto a mouse. 
And he is damned in everlasting blindness and darkness, 
and is without eyes, and hath a snout as a swine, and 
diggeth therewith the earth, and casteth up that he diggeth, 
and gnaweth and eateth roots under earth, and hateth the 
sun, and may not live above the earth. And the Mole 
hath none eyes seen without, and who that slitteth the skin 
subtly and warily shall find within the fores [7.e., traces] 
of eyes hidden. And some men trow that that skin 
breaketh for anguish and for sorrow when he beginneth to 
die, and beginneth then to open the eyes in dying that were 
closed living. Bartholomew (Berthelet), bk. xviii, § 102.

A Move or want enclosed in an earthen pot, if you set 
then the powder of brimstone on fire, she will call other 
Moles or wants to help her with a very mourning voice.
