Out came Meg, with gray horsehair hanging about her face,
a red and black robe, a staff, and cabalistic signs upon her
cloak. Hugo demanded a potion to make Zara adore him, and one 
to destroy Roderigo. Hagar, in a fine dramatic melody, promised

Hither, hither, from thy home,
Airy sprite, I bid thee come!
Born of roses, fed on dew,
Charms and potions canst thou brew?

The fragrant philter which I need.

wings, golden hair, and a garland of roses on its head. Waving

From my airy home,
Afar in the silver moon.
Take the magic spell,
