<i>The Adventures of Mercury Ali of Cairo</i> — Then he took up a cup of water, and conjuring over it, sprinkled Ali with somewhat thereof, saying, ‘Take thou shape of bear;’ whereupon he instantly became a bear, and the Jew put a collar about his neck, muzzled him, and chained him to a picket of iron. Then he sat down and ate and drank.
