all_o he_o run_v away_o from_o his_o wife_n and_o thou_o child_n and_o now_o he_o lie_v under_o that_o coverlid_n when_o the_o other_o three_o witch_n have_v hear_v this_o discovery_n they_o all_o

as_o you_o speak_v of_o but_o we_o will_v have_v a_o little_a more_o sport_n with_o he_o before_o he_o die_v that_o very_a word_n procure_v some_o comfort_n to_o robin_n languish_a spirit_n for_o he_o have_v rather_o choose_v to_o lead_v a_o sorrowful_a life_n then_o to_o die_v a_o sudden_a death_n and_o now_o to_o be_v brief_a in_o the_o matter_n they_o pull_v the_o bedclothe_n from_o off_o he_o and_o make_v he_o stand_v up_o stark_o naked_a as_o ever_o he_o be_v bear_v before_o they_o the_o wolf_n bite_v he_o by_o the_o throat_n the_o bear_n bite_v he_o by_o the_o bum_n and_o the_o cat_n bite_v he_o by_o the_o member_n and_o every_o one_o draw_v blood_n of_o he_o but_o do_v he_o no_o great_a harm_n at_o that_o time_n now_o say_v the_o old_a witch_n we_o have_v mark_v you_o for_o our_o own_o and_o therewithal_o she_o past_a sentence_n upon_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v three_o day_n punishment_n for_o his_o former_a offence_n and_o afterward_o he_o be_v to_o be_v eat_v up_o alive_a the_o first_o of_o the_o three_o day_n he_o be_v to_o be_v transform_v into_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o fox_n and_o to_o be_v chase_v with_o dog_n from_o morning_n till_o night_n here_o robin_n the_o cobbler_n like_o a_o fox_n do_v run_v before_o the_o dog_n who_o rage_n he_o can_v shun_v the_o second_o day_n he_o be_v to_o be_v a_o ride_a nag_n and_o to_o carry_v the_o witch_n whither_o she_o please_v the_o three_o day_n he_o be_v to_o be_v a_o owl_n and_o to_o fly_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o all_o the_o day_n long_o so_o have_v agree_v upon_o the_o matter_n as_o soon_o as_o the_o day_n appear_v robin_n the_o cobbler_n be_v to_o be_v a_o fox_n and_o so_o out_o of_o the_o door_n they_o set_v he_o a_o run_a and_o have_v transform_v themselves_o into_o the_o shape_n of_o dog_n follow_v close_o at_o his_o heel_n and_o every_o time_n they_o overtake_v he_o they_o bite_v he_o by_o the_o buttock_n and_o nip_v he_o most_o devilish_o for_o they_o have_v no_o mercy_n in_o their_o tooth_n the_o next_o day_n they_o transform_v he_o into_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o horse_n and_o so_o the_o witch_n get_v upon_o his_o back_n three_o of_o they_o at_o a_o time_n and_o rid_v he_o over_o
