At midnight light a new black candle in a locked chamber.  Take the white wing feather of a dove or pigeon and dip it in some pungent scented oil, rue, wintergreen, or the like.  The let its tip burn in the candle flame, and say these words:

Thy flight be stayed
Thy wing be bound
This cloud casts thee
To the ground.

Dip the feather again into the oil, then break it into small pieces and fold these up in a bit of silvery paper.  Bind this charm with black thread, and bury it it in the ground near your doorstep.  So shall it call the faithless one back, and when returned, dropos of the same oil must be touched to the brow and the palms of that person, who shall not leave again.  Yet reveal not the reason for this ointment, lest its power be diminished.
