Did listen to my story;
Tssyde, 'I'm called q wizard man,
Ny name is Goodman Corey
told him was doomed to dye
By hanging or by pressing
The mode it all depended on
Ny silence or confessing.
'Tn Salem village once he ssyde,
Such deeds they did above
That dark delusion 8 had it's daye,
And men are wiser now.
You stand, he sayde, upon ye spot,
SO sadly known 20 fame
No longer is it Salem called,
But Danvers is its name
AHA, sayde {, Ctwas in my dreamy
1'll see this altered place
] long at once to look upon
This boasted wiser race
Travelled on to Blind Hole Swamp,
The fields were bright aud gay,
From Skeletons Neck to Br0osby's vale,
then pursued my way.
Here goblins came, and I must own
At Hrst In terrour bounde me
spake them fair and babe them come
Full soon saw that had come
Amongst race Of witches,
For every man looked upon
Was destitute of breeches."
'FyeI oh. fyeP' sayde Goody Corey,
And sharply spake the dame
THAT you should look upon them thus,
1blush for very shame"
"Pray, heare me out impatient wyfe;
For know these wizard coons,
Although they had nolbreeches on,
Were clothed with pantaloons.
But. ah, how queer the women looked
IT would waken your compassion
To see what awkward clothes they wore,
SO strangely out offashion.
/ looked upon We ancient men
No toOthless gums had they;
Their aged heads were never bald
Their hair was seldom gray !"
Now Martha Corev spake aloud,
With most indignant frowne
81 don't believe word you save
About this Danvers towne."
Her Goodman sayde, with quiet tone,
"a pleasant speech had he,)
Remember, dame, dreamed of this
1t thus appeared to me.
I saw man pull all his teeth
1t took him but q minute
He oDed his mouth and put them back
thought ye deuce was in it.
saw man cut off limb
The surgeons knife all CORY
But yet ye patient felt no paine"
T Is false ~ sayde GoodY Corey.
I" IT was In my dream I saw it, dame;
l saw him take ye stitches
And then knew I'd fell amongst
A real race of witches.
met man who d lost an eye,
And chose to have another:
He bou yht one at ye nearest shop,
Just like It's living brother.
I had a raging Doth to draw
To you e. will seem a fable
I went to sleep, and then awoke
And found it on re table.
I looked upon this wizard race
With still increasing wonder;
They drew ye lightning from ye skies,
And bottled up ye thunder.
They carried news by lightning teams
Made portraits with Ye sun
Used cotton for their guupowder,
TO charge ye sporting gun.
A magic substance they have founde,
And some Ingenious iubber
MAKES everything save consciences
or patent India rubber. "@~
TO light their homes with flaming air,
Tue elements they torture.
And hope to get, by taking paines.
Their candIe-light from water.
told them that to see the world
had a strong desire
They took me off in vapourv cloud
And chariot OF fire.
Full forty miles an hour they went.
By power OF naught but steam
Their ships with steam and wheels they
sent
saw it in my dream.
saw these Wizards gather round
To listen to a tapping a
In wide-mouthed wonder swallow all
The witcheries ofrapping.
1t was, | own, with:humble shame,
mystery to me,
That souls in bliss should come to cart
To say their A B c..
On, what miracle it seemed
In this the worlds advance.
When spirits left their bright abodes
To make a table dance
To have this awful mystery solved
though they might be able
The faith that would mountain Nova
Might also move table.
