DAME Malice reigns the Queen of hags; <br /> With wink and whisper, nod and chatter, <br />She trots along, and never fags, <br /> While she has scandal-seeds to scatter. <br /> <br />Then when her seeds are poison-weeds, <br /> That choke the corn and spoil the labors <br />Of king or clown, her feats to crown, <br /> She'll dance a reelet with her neighbors!<br /><br />Joseph Skipsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dame-malice/
