'<br>He growled, and put up a fight; <br>But I laid him low by the mansion gate<br>And I held him there on the ground, <br>He yelled: ‘I'm the Lord of Leighton Hay<br>The Lord of these these woods and downs! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘So this is the Demon Devil's face, <br>Then who was the Winsome Witch? <br>I'm sure the Lady of Leighton Hay<br>Would be ready to flay the bitch! '<br>‘You mustn't tell, it would break the spell<br>Of the coven, and all my power, <br>What would you take for your silence, now, <br>For the reck of this parlous hour! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘There's just one thing that I'd take from you<br>To silence this gossiping tongue, <br>She's sweet, petite, and has dancing feet, <br>And I guess you know, she's young! '<br>‘If you talk about Lady Caroline, <br>My daughter, never for you! '<br>‘Oh well, the Lady of Leighton Hay<br>May brew up a Hell of a stew! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">That was a year and a day ago, <br>We wed, and live in the lodge, <br>The witches are still in the woods out there, <br>I often go out to watch; <br>But my Lady wife is an innocent, <br>I know she'd never deceive, <br>Except for the pot of serpents and frogs <br>She brewed on All Hallows Eve!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=David+Lewis+Paget">David Lewis Paget</a><div class=q>

The sky was clear and a harvest moon
Shone down through the old oak leaves, 
When I saw the glimmer of can..."></div>
