Verses by the same

1 From his brimstone bed at break of day A walking the Devil is gone To visit his little snug farm of the Earth And see how his stock came on 2 Don the Hill and over the dale And he went over the plain And backward and forward he swish'd his long tail As a gentleman swishes his cane. 3 And how then was the Devil dress'd Oh he was in his Sunday's best His jacket was black and his breeches were blue And there was a hole where the tail came through 4 He saw a Lawyer killing a viper In a dunghill beside his stable And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind Of Cain and his Brother Abel 5 An Apothecary on a white horse Rode by on his vacation And the Devil thought of his old friend, Death in the Revelation
