14  "The Second tells us what is right
 * In ceremonious calls:

First burn a blue or crimson light, (A thing I quite forgot to-night,)
 * Then scratch the door or walls!"

I said " You'll visit here no more,
 * If you attempt the Guy:

I'll have no bonfires on my floor— And, as for scratching at the door,
 * I'd like to see you try!"

"The Third was written to protect
 * The interests of the Victim,

And tells us, as I recollect, To treat him with a grave respect,
 * And not to contradict him!"
