Witchcraft & Second Sight in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland / Tales and Traditions Collected Entirely from Oral Sources

by John Gregorson Campbell

For my own eye,

For the grey man’s eye,

For the eye of the nine slim fairy women,

Who never ate

Or digested aught,

In yonder hill,

Whoever has thee under lock

Of eye, or malice, or envy,

On themselves may it fall,

On their goods, and on their children,
