"When Jesus saw ye cross, whereon his body should be crucified, his body shook, and ye Jewes asked him had he the Ague? he answered and said, 'Whosoever keepeth this in mind or writing shall not be troubled with Fever or Ague; so, Lord, help thy servant trusting in thee. Then say the Lord's prayer.

Old Shoes thrown for Luck (Vol. ii., p. 196.).
—I may be allowed to quote, from Tennyson's Lyrical Monologue—
"For this thou shalt from all things seek,
Marrow of mirth and laughter;
And wheresoe'er thou move, good luck
Shall throw her old shoe after."
