THE Witch of the Woodlands; OR, THE COBLER'S NEW TRANSLATION .

Previous

Here Robin the Cobler for his former Evils,
Is punish'd bad as Faustus with his Devils.

Printed and Sold in Aldermary Church Yard,
Bow Lane, London.

Here the old Witches dance, and then agree,

How to fit Robin for his Lechery;

First he is made a Fox and hunted on,

'Till he becomes an Horse, an Owl, a Swan.

At length their Spells of Witchcraft they withdrew,

But Robin still more hardships must go through;

For e'er he is transform'd into a Man,

They make him kiss their bums and glad he can.

This is the argument of the story, which is too broad in its humour to be reprinted, but the following two illustrations show the popular idea of his Satanic Majesty and his dealings with witches.
