"although little children may think clag is edible, it's probably better to avoid them"

<Considers this sound advice. Little children tend to be sticky once they've had access to clag. Would avoid them too.>

<remembers the Evocation of the Key of Salomon that Faust used to learn about the poodle's essence:>

Salamander shall glisten,
Undina lapse lightly,
Sylph vanish brightly,
Kobold quick listen.

Vanish in glowing
Flame, Salamander!
Inward, spirally flowing,
Gurgle, Undine!
Gleam in meteoric splendor,
Airy Queen!
Thy homely help render,
Incubus! Incubus!
Forth and end the charm for us!

Art thou a jail-bird,
A runaway hell-bird?
This sign then--adore it!
They tremble before it
All through the dark dwelling.

Reprobate creature!
Canst read his nature?
The Uncreated,
Ineffably Holy,
With Deity mated,
Sin's victim lowly?


<An unemployed english major? Ha! ha! The casus is too funny.>

<hastens to add by way of Edit that the translation is by Charles T. Brooks.>
