Poet Analysis

First Line: IF YE FEARE TO BE AFFRIGHTED
Last Line: CHARMES THE DANGER, AND THE DREAD.
Subject(s): CHARMS (MAGIC); MAGIC;
If ye feare to be affrighted
When ye are (by chance) benighted:
In your Pocket for a trust,
Carrie nothing but a Crust:
For that holy piece of Bread,
Charmes the danger, and the dread.
