To fascinate; to gain an ascendancy over by charms or incantation; an operation which was formerly supposed to injure the person bewitched, so that he lost his flesh, or behaved in a strange unaccountable manner; ignorant people being inclined to ascribe to evil spirits what they could not account for. Look, how I am bewitched; behold, mine arm . Is like a blasted sapling withered up.

To charm; to fascinate; to please to such a degree as to take away the power of resistance. The charms of poetry our souls bewitch.

To deceive and mislead by juggling tricks or imposter. Acis 8:9.
