He'll soon be knocking at the gates of hell.

Spells of such power are in this chest of mine,

Learned, lady, from mine host in Palestine.

Lady, farewell: turn ocean-ward thy steeds:

As I have purposed, so shall I fulfil.

Farewell, thou bright-faced Moon! Ye stars, farewell,

That wait upon the car of noiseless Night.
