And to the wearer sure protection brings.

And, lest they harm ship, land, or house, it binds

The scorching lightning and the furious winds.

Sprinkled ‘mid climbing vines or olives’ rows,

Or with the seed the patient rustic sows,

’Twill from thy crops avert the arrowy hail,

And with abundance bless the smiling vale.”

(King, Antique Gems.)

Coranach, Coronach, Gaelic (corah-rainach, a crying together). A dirge.

Coranto, It. An Italian form of the country dance or jig.
