"when i came to my senses again i found myself in this underground cave in a glass coffin. the magician appeared once again, and said he had changed my brother into a stag, my castle with all that belonged to it, diminished in size by his arts, he had shut up in the other glass chest, and my people, who were all turned into smoke, he had confined in glass bottles. he told me that if i would now comply with his wish, it was an easy thing for him to put everything back in its former state, as he had nothing to do but open the vessels, and everything would return once more to its natural form. i answered him as little as i had done the first time. he vanished and left me in my prison, in which a deep sleep came on me. amongst the visions which passed before my eyes, that was the most comforting in which a young man came and set me free, and when i opened my eyes to-day i saw thee, and beheld my dream fulfilled. help me to accomplish the other things which happened in those visions. the first is that we lift the glass chest in which my castle is enclosed, on to that broad stone."
