I'm currently reading a Louis Penny Novel -The Cruelest Month- set in the south of Quebec in an imaginary villaged called Three Pines. In her poems she always quotes Canadian writers and especially, poems by Margaret Atwood. In this book I've just read this stanza about a witch who was burned in the XVII century.
I was hanged for living alone
for having blue eyes and a sunburned skin,
tattered skirts, few buttons,
a weedy farm in my own name,
and a surefire cure for warts;
Oh yes, and breasts,
and a sweet pear hidden in my body.
Whenever there’s talk of demons
these come in handy.
Here you can read the whole poem: Half-Hanged Mary: https://loadedliteraturepodcast.wordpress.com/2018/08/08/half-hanged-mary-by-margaret-atwood/
