Publisher's Synopsis
Like a crew of demons, yelling and shouting menaces of death, mingled with horrible execrations and oaths of vengeance for their slaughtered comrades, they obeyed the energetic and sanguinary orders of their chief.
The witch chanted --
"Turn the spindle!
Mortal asks
A web of proof
From charmed woof!"
"The pledge, the pledge?"
replied the wizard.
"Body and soul
To his control,
The pledge, the pledge!"
"A bleeding lock
Of the victim's hair
Given to earth, sea,
Sky, and air,
The seal, the seal!"
