Jorinda and Jorindel

Hello trainers,
I am curious to know the meaning of the following lines. they are;

Till the prisoner is fast
And her doom is cast
There stay! Oh stay!
When the charm is around her,
And the spell has bound her
Hie away! away!

Actually I have taken these lines from a fairy tale titled JORINDA AND JORINDEL.and the story is ; In to the deep forest an old fairy lived that had magical powers.but she was by no means a gentle fairy and one day jorinda and jorindel entered the castle but wicked fairy turned jorinda in to a caged bird and jorindel was turned into stone but later she freed jorindel.

I hope it would be enough stuff for you to answer me.

Thanks in advance.
Yours faithfully

The fairy tells Jorindel - You stay right there until Jorinda is in her cage (the prisoner is fast), and her fate is sure. (her doom is cast). After I have put my spell on her, and she is my prisoner (when the charm is around her, and the spell has bound here), then go away, just go away!
