For the grapes’ sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost
For the grapes’ sake along the wall.”

And haste ye find these traitors again;
For she’s be burnt and he’s be slain,
The wearifu’ gaberlunzie man.’”

And especially the times of faith as best
Ought to go and live in the Middle Ages
And be burnt at the stake as witches and sages.”
