Osm. What a half-devil is he!

His errand was to draw the lowland damps,

And noisome vapours, from the foggy fens;

Then breathe the baleful stench, with all his force,

Full on the faces of our christened foes.

Grim. Accordingly he drained those marshy grounds,

And bagged them in a blue pestiferous cloud;

Which when he should have blown, the frighted elf

Espied the red-cross banners of their host,

And said, he durst not add to his damnation.
