Traits of the Witches
Some devils ask but the parings of one's nail, A rush, a
hair, a drop of blood, a pin, A nut, a cherry-stone; But she, more
covetous, would have a chain.
Master be wise: an if you give it her, The devil will shake her chain
and fright us with it.
-- The Comedy of Errors,
IV.iii. 66-71
