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-lace She leads on a brace Of black-bore-cats to attend her; Who scratch at the Moone, And threaten at noone Of night from Heaven for to rend her.
A hunting she goes; A crackt horne she blowes;

At which the hounds fall a bounding; While th'Moone in her sphere Peepes trembling for feare, And night's afraid of the sounding.
