we soon will take the darkness from his face That did that deed of darkness; we will know What now the Monsieur and your husband do; What is contained within the secret paper Offered by Monsieur, and your loves events: To which ends (honoured daughter) at your motion, I have put on these exorcizing Rites, And, by my power of learned holiness Vouchsafed me from above, I will command Our resolution of a raised spirit. Good father raise him in some beauteous form, That with least terror I may brook his sight. Stand sure together then, whate'er ye see, And stir not, as ye tender all our lives. Occidentalium legionum spiritalium imperator (magnus ille Behemoth) veni, veni, comitatus cum Asaroth locotenente invicto. Adiuro te per stygis inscrutabilia arcana, per ipsos irremeabiles anfractus averni: adesto o Behemoth, tu cvi pervia sunt Magnatum scrinia; veni, per Noctis & tenebrarum abdita profundissima; per labentia sydera; per ipsos motus horarum furtivos, Hecatesque altum silentium: Appare in forma spiritali, lucente splendida & amabili. What would the holy Friar? I would see What now the Monsieur and Montsurry do; And see the secret paper that the Monsieur Offered to Count Montsurry, longing much To know on what events the secret loves Of these two honoured persons shall arrive. Why called'st thou me to this accursed light? To these light purposes? I am Emperor Of that inscrutable darkness, where are hid All deepest truths, and secrets never seen, All which I know, and command Legions Of knowing spirits that can do more than these. Any of this my guard that circle me In these blue fires, and out of whose dim fumes Vast murmurs use to break, and from their sounds Articulate voices; can do ten parts more Than open such sleight truths, as you require. From the last nights black depth, I called up one Of the inferior ablest ministers, And he could not resolve me; send one then Out of thine own command, to fetch the paper That Monsieur hath to show to Count Montsurry. I will: Cartophylax: thou that properly Hast in thy power all papers so inscribed: Glide through all bars to it and fetch that paper. I will. Till he returns (great prince of darkness) Tell me, if Monsieur and the Count Montsurry Are yet encountered. Both them and the Guise Are now together. Show us all their persons, And represent the place, with all their actions. The spirit will straight return: and then I'll show thee: See he is come; why brought'st thou not the paper? He hath prevented me, and got a spirit Raised by another, great in our command To take the guard of it before I came. This is your slackness, not t'invoke our powers When first your acts, set forth to their effects; Yet shall you see it, and themselves: behold They come here & the Earl now holds the paper.
