passing unsinged through <strong>the</strong> fire. 3. Brulefer, who makes one loved by women. 4.<br />

Pentagonony, who renders invisible and also beloved by great lords. 5. Aglasis, who<br />

transports through <strong>the</strong> whole world. 6. Sidrargrosam, who makes girls dance stark naked,<br />

7. Minoson, who insures winning in all games. 8. Bucon, who has <strong>the</strong> power to excite<br />

hatred and jealousy between <strong>the</strong> two sexes.<br />
