The Witchcraft.

No wonder Winds more dreadful are by far,
Than all the Losses of a twelve Years War:
No wonder P---tes do the Church betray,
And St---men vote, and act a different way:
No wonder Magick Art surrounds the Th---,
Old Mother J---ings in her Gr---e is known.
Old England's Genius rouze, these Charms dispel,
Burn but the Witch, and all is well.
