INCANTATIONS
CHARM FOR SWOLLEN BREAST
The charm made by Gillecaluim,
On the one cow of the cariin,
For rose, for hardness, for pain.
For swelling, for lump, for growth,
For uzzening, for udder, for milking,
For the three ' corracha crith,'
For the three ' corracha cnamh,'
For the three ' corracha creothail,'
Do not deny it to beast.
Do not refuse it to wife.
Do not withhold it on Sunday.
The charm made of generous Fionn,
To his very sister.
For rose, for hardness,
For swelling of breast.
