My heart was in my mouth, and I sat there while he pissed a ring around them and was suddenly turned into a wolf! Now don't think I'm joking, I wouldn't lie for any amount of money, but as I was saying, he commenced to howl after he was turned into a wolf, and ran away into the forest.
I didn't know where I was for a minute or two, then I went to his clothes, to pick them up, and damned if they hadn't turned to stone! Was ever anyone nearer dead from fright than me?
Then I whipped out my sword and cut every shadow along the road to bits, till I came to the house of my mistress.

I looked like a ghost when I went in, and I nearly slipped my wind.

The sweat was pouring down my crotch, my eyes were staring, and I could hardly be brought around.

My Melissa wondered why I was out so late.

"Oh, if you'd only come sooner," she said, "you could have helped us: a wolf broke into the folds and attacked the sheep, bleeding them like a butcher.
