The following is a specimen of an invocation for beautifying the person which is supposed to be used by children:—

“The light of four Suns, five Moons,

And the seven Stars be visible in my eye.

The brightness of a shooting star be upon my chin,

And that of the full moon be upon my brows.

May my lips be like unto a string of ants,

My teeth like to a herd of elephants,

My tongue like a breaking wave,

My voice like the voice of the Prophet David,

My countenance like the countenance of the Prophet Joseph,
