    "If you don't believe me what I say I'll enter in Beelzebub and he'll clear the way".

    Here comes I Jack Striddle, hissed the de'ils wife through a reel, through a riddle, through a mill hopper, through a bag of pepper, if you don't believe me what I say I'll enter in Devil Doubt and he'll clear the way".
    Here comes I, Devil Doubt with a besom to sweep you's all out. Its money I want and money Ill crave, if you don't give me money I'll sweep you's all out. Money I want and I'll crave if you don't give me money. Ill sweep you to your grave. All silver no brass bad halfpence won't pass. If i don't get that I must take less and after that a song."
