MAHOMET.
Then if we are to go abroad, is it advisable that you should travel in the disguise of a spider, or will you not take a more convenient shape?
ANGEL.
Am I a spider now?
MAHOMET.
God is great! I see the beautiful form of an angel descending from the web. How little did I imagine it was an angel that I saw spinning and catching flies!
ANGEL.
We are going to leave the earth, and soar far away. Now that we are out of the cave, take my hand, and we shall mount without an effort. We are soon in the sky; look down, and see what a noble sight the earth is!
MAHOMET.
