Round the veins of her heart,

For the four and twenty afflictions

In her constitution;

For the water of the running stream of her boundary,

For the stones of the earth’s waves,

For the weakness of her heart,

For jaundice and distemper,

For withering and for asthma.”

CHARM FOR TOOTHACHE.

(Eòlas an Déide.)
