Give to the father of all lies, the lie.
"A sister's weakness he'll by fits surprise—
His her wild laughter, his her piteous cries;
And, should a pastor at her side attend,
He'll use her organs to abuse her friend.
These are possessions—unbelieving wits
Impute them all to nature: 'They're her fits,
Caused by commotions in the nerves and brains.'—
Vain talk! but they'll be fitted for their pains.
