Like death of old and horrid train!
He comes! he comes! good heaven defend us!
With magic rites, and things tremendous!
With such as served the witch of Endor
To make the powers of hell surrender!
Now draws full many a magic circle;
Now stamps, and foams, and swears meherc’le!
As old Canidia used to mutter once,
Just as her demon gave her utterance!
Now tells each trembling bed-rid zany
