Bell Come let us burne our severall horrid peeces. Hag Thus is our Mischiefe drawne in yeares of Leases Pre If you a Prentice doe call mee Pray, let mee know of thee What you intend soe hollyly to burne Hag To sacrafice unto Loves Devills urne Pre What's the ingredience of your Perfume Bell All horrid things to burne i'th Roome Hag As Childrens heads Bell Mens leggs Hag Weomens Armes Bell And little Barnes Hag And these wee will you show Pre Noe thanke you, I will take my leggs to goe. Bell Noe stay we will not you soe fright Hag That you the better may us like Bell For wee're resolv'd that us you shall not slight Hag For with us you shall oynt and make a flight Pre And must all this bee done to night Bell But wee've forgot our Songe Hag Let's singe, but let's not bee too longe. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY AN ANSWER TO LADY ALICE EGERTON'S SONG by JANE CAVENDISH ON MY BOY HENRY by JANE CAVENDISH ON THE DEATH OF MY SISTER THE COUNTESS OF BRIDGEWATER IN CHILDBED by JANE CAVENDISH |
