Asonance

1:	Susanna M^Dmartin was a w^Citch who dwelt in ^DmAmesbury with brilliant ^Feye and saucy t^Congue she worked her s^Dmorcery and when int^Fo the judges c^Court the sh^Dmeriffs brought her h^Amither the l^Bilacs drooped as sh^Ame passed by and th^Ben were s^Ceen to w^Dmither.

2:	A witch she was, though trim and neat with comely head held high it did not seem that one as she with Satan so would vie and when in court when the afflicted ones proclaimed her evil ways she laughed aloud and boldly then met Cotton Mathers gaze.

3:	"Who hath bewitched these maids" he asked and strong was her reply "If they be dealing in black arts ye know as well as I" and then the stricken ones made moan as she approached near they saw her shaped upon the beam so none could doubt 'twas there.

4:	The neighbors 'round swore to the truth of her Satanic powers that she could fly o'er land and stream and come dry shod through showers at night 'twas said she had appeared a cat of fearsome mien "avoid she-devil" they had cried to keep their spirits clean.

5:	The spectral evidence was weighed then stern the parson spoke "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live 'tis written in the Book" Susanna Martin so accused spoke with flaming eyes "I scorn these things for they are naught but filthy gossips lies."

6:	Now those bewitched they cried her out and loud their voice did ring they saw a bird above her head an evil yellow thing and so beneath a summer sky Susanna Martin died and still in scorn she faced the rope her comely head held high.

1: 
         Dm           C
Susanna Martin was a witch
             Dm
who dwelt in Amesbury
               F              C
with brilliant eye and saucy tongue
                Dm
she worked her sorcery
            F             C
and when into the judges court
      Dm                  Am
the sheriffs brought her hither
     Bb                 Am
the lilacs drooped as she passed by
      Bb       C       Dm
and then were seen to wither.

2: 
A witch she was, though trim and neat
with comely head held high
it did not seem that one as she
with Satan so would vie
and when in court when the afflicted ones
proclaimed her evil ways
she laughed aloud and boldly then
met Cotton Mathers gaze.

3: 
"Who hath bewitched these maids" he asked
and strong was her reply
"If they be dealing in black arts
ye know as well as I"
and then the stricken ones made moan
as she approached near
they saw her shaped upon the beam
so none could doubt 'twas there.

4: 
The neighbors 'round swore to the truth
of her Satanic powers
that she could fly o'er land and stream and come
dry shod through showers
at night 'twas said she had appeared
a cat of fearsome mien
"avoid she-devil" they had cried
to keep their spirits clean.

5: 
The spectral evidence was weighed
then stern the parson spoke
"thou shalt not suffer a witch to live
'tis written in the Book"
Susanna Martin so accused
spoke with flaming eyes
"I scorn these things for they are naught
but filthy gossips lies."

6: 
Now those bewitched they cried her out
and loud their voice did ring
they saw a bird above her head
an evil yellow thing
and so beneath a summer sky
Susanna Martin died
and still in scorn she faced the rope
her comely head held high.
