When it journeyed through its magical realm, it took on the shape of a fantastical golden sailing ship. One day the ship was captured by a Great Enchanter and put under his spell.

Night and storm. LUCIFER, with the Powers of the Air, trying to tear down the Cross. Lucifer. HASTEN! hasten!O ye spirits!From its station drag the ponderousCross of iron, that to mock usIs uplifted high in air! Voices. O, we cannot!For around itAll the Saints and Guardian AngelsThrong in legions to protect it;They defeat us everywhere! The Bells. Laudo Deum verum Plebem voco! Congrego clerum! Lucifer. Lower! lower!Hover downward!Seize the loud, vociferous bells, andClashing, clanging, to the pavementHurl them from their windy tower! Voices. All thy thundersHere are harmless!For these bells have been anointed,And baptized with holy water!They defy our utmost power.
