19. And Adonai said: Thou art enmeshed in the web of the Magician. This He said subtly, to try him.
20. But the Magister gave the sign of the Magistry, and laughed back on Him: O Lord, O beloved, did these fingers relax on Thy curls, or these eyes turn away from Thine eye?
21. And Adonai delighted in him exceedingly. -

I am really enjoying the playfulness of these two. This Adonai is a real ball breaker

Adonai: who do you love more, me or your transam?
The sense of this line is playfully cynical and ironic, along the lines of this song lyric by Jim White in the song Chained to a Fence in Mississippi:
"my transam is misssing
my transam is missing
I guess there is no more kissing
the girl who loved my car!"20. But the Magister gave the sign of the Magistry, and laughed back on Him: O Lord, O beloved, did these fingers relax on Thy curls, or these eyes turn away from Thine eye?
21. And Adonai delighted in him exceedingly.Master: dear heart, I gave the car to my nephew; and look here, two tickets to the Bahamas!
Adonai [an aside, to the audience]: Wow, I guess she really does love me!Textual support, The Tempest by William Shakespeare, Act 4, Scene 1:
" * Enter ARIEL*
...ARIEL
Do you love me, master? no?PROSPERO
Dearly my delicate Ariel.
...ARIEL
Well, I conceive.- Exit*
"
Love and Will
- Exit*
