The cruel blows did hur perceive,from that hard hearted elf,Was tell hur if hur give hur leave,made hur bewray hurself:Was tell hur how hurself was freed,was fair to use hur wit;With all dexterity and speed,was well hur was beshit.Was put her hand into hur breeks,and pull'd from off her thighs,A thing was made of cheese and leeks,and cast it in hur eyes:Hur son was blind, hur mother blind,no boot for hur to stay.Hur left a filthy stink behind,and so hur ran away.Was glad was gone from them two devils,from son and the old hag,In midst of all these woeful evils,there's none had cause to brag.My bones did ake, their eyes did smart,and such a stink was here,Which men could not with all their art,make sweet in half a year,But now hur knows not what to do,hur hunger to suffice,At length with walking to and fro,an apple tree espies:The apples did so lovely look,did move her unto laughter,
