Witches' Hospitality It shall be convey'd in at howlet-time; Take you no care: my spirits know their moments; Raven or screech-owl never fly by th' door But they call in—I thank 'em—and they lose not by't; I give 'em barley soak'd in infants' blood; They shall have semina cum sanguine , Their gorge cramm'd full, if they come once to our house. (Act 5, scene 2, lines 38-44). Middleton, Thomas. The Witch . 1616/1778. In The Works of Thomas Middleton. Vol. 5, A.H. Bullen (Ed.), Houghton, Mifflin, and Company, 1885. https://archive.org/details/cu31924014146868/page/n7/mode/2up
