Read good Medusa. Ah miserable Pedante, would I were away, I quiver so fast, that I feel no ground: 'tis a company of witches I hold forty pound. When begin you sweet heart? Make haste you had need, The day will approach, and the night gone with speed. A rope on them all, they go a caterwauling I trow, Whom they mean to torment I would gladly know. This water and this oil I have, is conjured as you see, In the name of those Sprites that written on this Image be. Now must I write the name of him whom you so much do love: Then bind these sprites, him to the like affection for to move. I charge you as you mean to purchase favour in his sight: And by the virtue of mine art, tell me his name aright. Fortunio. That's he that doth my master Fedele disgrace, And this is Victoria disguised in place. Your name upon the breast, his on the forehead must I write, Then conjure, now it is the stillest time of all the night. Do so. I conjure thee thou waxen Image here, By Venus' fruitful womb that Cupid bore: That in Fortunio's name thy force appear, To comfort fair Victoria full of care. That by the virtue of mine Art thou be: In this her grief a present remedy: I conjure thee Fortunio at the length, By head, eyes, ears, thy liver and thy heart: Thy Guts, thy veins, flesh, blood, bones, sinews, strength, Thy lights, thy lungs, feet, hands, and every part. That presently thy breast be set on fire: And all thy bowels boil with hot desire. Look that by night thou take no quiet rest, By day thou loathe thy comfortable food: Let every joy be daggers to thy breast, See, hear, and touch nought that may do thee good. Till fancy make thee for a lover meet, And throw thee down before Victoria's feet. Look that she never pass out of thy mind, But paint her heavenly face in every thought: Love her above all Creatures of her kind, Prosper not, till by thee her joys be wrought. But waste as this melts at the candle's flame: Amen, fiat, fiat, in Cupid's name. What have you done? and is the Spirit come up that you do call? The greatest Fiend of hell come and take you all. With oil of Virgin wax I thee anoint, And sign, and mark thee with the holy Cross: In Venus' name, I water every joint. That love by thee may never suffer loss. Now have you done? It must be pricked, and set in greater heat: Then the Spirits bound, before it do the feat. Make haste. I Conjure you ye Sprites, whose names are on this Image writ: And now rehearse you one by one, in order as you sit. Nettabor, Temapttor, Vigilator, Somniator, Astarot, Berliche, Buffon, Amachon, Suchon, Sustani, Asmodeus. Ottomanus, sophy, Turk, and the great Cham: Robin goodfellow, Hobgoblin, the devil and his dam. O vi possono portar in precipitio.
