Against the false laws of all heretics;
Against the craft of the idolator’s tricks;
Against the spells of druids, smiths, and women;
Against all lore that taints the spirit human.
Let Christ protect me to-day against poison—
Against burning, drowning, against wound,
Until abundance of reward comes round.
Christ be with me, Christ before, behind,
Christ without me, Christ within my mind,
Christ above me, and in breadth, length, height,
