only verses on record of the devil's
composition (at least, so well authenticated), I transcribe them for the
information of the curious.

"Nexus ovem binam, per spinam traxit equinam;
Laesus surgit equus, pendet utrumque pecus.
Ad molendinum, pondus portabat equinum,
Dispergendo focum, se cremat atque locum.
Custodes aberant; singula damna ferant."

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE

Contemporary spellings have been retained even where inconsistent;
missing punctuation has been silently added. The following additional
changes have been made to the text:

let it brought before these Sees let it be brought before these Sees
