CHARM FOR A TETTER.
“Tetter, tetter, thou hast nine brothers.
God bless the flesh and preserve the bone;
Perish, thou tetter, and be thou gone.
In the name,” &c.
“Tetter, tetter, thou hast eight brothers.
God bless the flesh and preserve the bone;
Perish, thou tetter, and be thou gone.
In the name,” &c.
“Tetter, tetter, thou hast seven brothers.”
&c., &c.
Thus the verses are continued until tetter, having “no brother,” is imperatively ordered to begone.
