But they say he changed his shape, and so it did appear,
For when he found the old woman safe, so that he could not touch her,
He lost his horns and tail, and turned out to be a butcher!
The devil often has been blamed when innocent, 'tis true,
But now he is caught in the fact, they will give him his due,
And since he bears such a bad name, there's no doubt but they will
Keep him prisoner, as long as he lives, at Wakefield tread-mill.
