[137] In that curious Poem entitled The Sorceress, are the following Lines, among others, on "The Spell:"

"Rust of the Gibbet, and Bone of the Dead,

I mingle and into the Teakettle throw,

Root of Skunk-cabbage and Rattlesnakes Mead,

And Leaves pluck'd at Midnight from Juniper bough.

Charm break the Rest

Of the Parsun distrest,

From his Eyes let the Blessing of Slumber depart;

Lucifer aid me

And Night overshade me,
