[LUTHER--DE DAEMONIBUS]

The devils are in woods, in waters, in wildernesses, and in dark pooly places, ready to hurt and prejudice people, etc.--Doctoris Martini Lutheri Colloquia Mensalia--(Translated by Captain Henry Bell. London, 1652, p. 370).

'The angel's like a flea,
The devil is a bore;--'
No matter for that! quoth S. T. C.,
I love him the better therefore.

Yes! heroic Swan, I love thee even when thou gabblest like
a goose; for thy geese helped to save the Capitol.

1826
