' now , my darling , ' says he , when they were left by themselves , ' you must know that i am under enchantment . a sorceress , that had a beautiful daughter , wished me for her son - in - law ; but the mother got power over me , and when i refused to we d her daughter she made me take the form of a bear by day , and i was to continue so till a lady would marry me of her own free will , and endure five years of great trials after . '
