The Hagg.
THe staffe is now greas'd,And very well pleas'd,She cockes out her Arse at the parting,To an old Ram Goat,That rattles i'th'throat,Halfe choakt with the stink of her farting.
In a dirtie Haire-laceShe leads on a braceOf black-bore-cats to attend her;Who scratch at the Moone,And threaten at nooneOf night from Heaven for to rend her.
A hunting she goes;A crackt horne she blowes;
descriptionPage 397
At which the hounds fall a bounding;While th'Moone in her spherePeepes trembling for feare,And night's afraid of the sounding.
