1. Harut’s magic in Babylon, however perfectly wrought,

    working upon bodies in earnest and in jest,

  2. and playing with minds until it leaves them

    reeling, until they confuse knowledge with ignorance,

  3. is no more bewitching than the pupil of a kohl-darkened eye:

    when that eye looks upon a man of reason, he departs bereft of reason.
