"Who's this?" the demon said, said he,

"A stalwart knight, I ween!

My eyes are blind, I cannot see,

They're full of keroseen"

Then Joseph's heart within him leapt—

The demon being blind—

Right gingerly he crawled and crept,

And gave him one behind.

The spirit used a two-edged sword

(He used it like an axe)
