[CHARM FOR A PAIN IN THE SIDE]

"God save you, my three brothers, God save you! And how far have ye to go, my three brothers?"
"To the Mount of Olivet, to bring back gold for a cup to hold the tears of Christ."
"Go then, gather the gold, and may the tears of Christ fall on it, and thou wilt be cured both body and soul."

Lady Wilde.


[CHARM AGAINST SORROW]

A Charm set by Mary for her Son, before the fair man and the turbulent woman laid Him in the grave.

The charm of Michael with the shield,
Of the palm-branch of Christ,
Of Brigit with her veil.
