INCANTATIONS 19
CHARM OF THE SPRAIN
Bride went out
In the morning early,
With a pair of horses ;
One broke liis leg,
With much ado,
That was apart,
She put bone to bone,
She put flesh to flesh,
She put sinew to sinew,
She put vein to vein.
As she healed that
JNIay I heal this.
CHARM FOR SPRAIN
Christ went on the cross.
Sprained the leg of a horse ;
Christ came to the ground.
Whole became the leg.
As that was made wiiole
May tiiis become whole.
If His will be so to do.
Through the bosom of the God of life,
And of the Three of the Trinity,
The God of life.
The Three of Trinity.
