She has graz'd my side,

Look at the wounds, how deep and how wide!

WITCHES (in chorus)

The way is broad, the way is long;

What mad pursuit! What tumult wild!

Scratches the besom and sticks the prong;

Crush'd is the mother, and stifled the child.

Like house-encumber'd snail we creep;

While far ahead the women keep,

For when to the devil's house we speed,

By a thousand steps they take the lead.
