Cornish Feasts and Folk-lore

For Tetters.

“Tetter, tetter, thou hast nine sisters,

God bless thee, flesh, and preserve thee, bone;

Perish thou, tetter, and be thou gone:

In the name,” etc.

“Tetter, tetter, thou hast eight sisters,” etc.

This charm is thus continued until it comes to the last, which is,—

“Tetter, tetter, thou hast no sister,” etc.—Bottrell.
