And he poisoned him as one bitten by the poisoned fly.

The Lady Mother heard it from heaven.

She took the staff in her hand,

And came down upon a silver ladder.

Do not cry, and do not low, O “Thursday one.”

Come with me to that old woman, that she may say the charm (disenchantment) for thee,

With water from the well,

With three stalks of elder-tree,

With twigs of hazelnut tree,

With a knife that has been found and with silver coins.
