Nay, should the Devil intrude among your foes [Enter Devil Devil.—What then ? St. Dunstan.-Snap, thus, I have him by the nose ! The most prominent feature in the Devil's face being held fast in St. Dunstan's red-hot tongs, after that prelate had duly spurned the Cham of Tartary and the Grand Sultan, a silversmith with three other workmen proceeded to the great anvil, and commenced working a plate of massy metal, singing and keeping time upon the anvil.
