Of the Witches in Lapland that make Winds.

Lapland , this is the place, where Winds (as some
Believe) from Witches not from Caves do come;
For they do Draw the Air into high Hills,
And Beat it out again by certain Mills;
Then Sack it up, and Sell it out for Gain
To Mariners which Traffick on the Main.
