I'm not sure anything more than the title is needed to set up the concept--but if so, I'd make it very short and matter-of-fact. I felt like the epigraph jarred with the tone of the poem, and without it the start of the poem would be much more striking. Going directly from the title to the first line would have a great hortatory quality, with the gruesomeness a welcome irony.
I agree with Stephen about the forest witch and cellar queen--those seem like 20th century atrocity details, not medieval. The forest ashes would be easy to fix. And for L3, how about: "Dirt from the cellar where a queen has lain"?
The poem would be more interesting if there were less absolute gore, and more general naughtiness. And isn't the idea that these are the lords and ladies, who eventually will bathe away their lurid activities? Not just every sort of killer or earth grubber. ("Ditch-digger" doesn't seem like the type to bathe.)
But maybe I'm seeing this in a different way than it's intended.
