[ Also see Angels Churches God Hell Punishment Satan Temptation ]

The spirit that I have seen
  May be a devil, and the devil hath power
    T' assume a pleasing shape, yea, and perhaps
      Out of my weakness and my melancholy,
        As he is very potent with such spirits,
          Abuses me to damn me.

I charge thee, Satan, housed within this man,
  To yield possession to my holy prayers,
    And to thy state of darkness hie thee straight.
      I conjure thee by all the saints in heaven.

From his brimstone bed, at break of day,
  A-walking the Devil is gone,
    To look at his little snug farm of the world,
      And see how his stock went on.

Go, poor devil, get thee gone; why should I hurt thee? This world surely is wide enough to hold both thee and me.
