Charm for Sprain I
Translated by Alexander Carmichael (1900) · From Carmina Gadelica, vol. II (1900): Incantations
Christ went on the cross.
Sprained the leg of a horse ;
Christ came to the ground.
Whole became the leg.
As that was made whole
May this 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.
