To the Nivasi,

He shall bind you with a rope,

Ninety-nine (yards long).”

A common cure of worms in swine among the Transylvanian tent-gypsies is to stand ere the sun rises before a çadcerli, or nettle, and while pouring on it the urine of the animal to be cured, repeat:—

“Láče, láče detehárá!

Hin mánge máy bute trásha

Kirmora hin [báleceske],

Te me penáv, penáv tute!

Káles hin yon, loles, párnes,

Deisislá hin yon mulánes!”
