Counteracting the Evil Eye

An eye covered thee,
A mouth spoke thee,
A heart envied thee,
A mind desired thee.
Four made thee thy cross,
Man and wife,
Youth and maid ;
Three will I send to thwart them.
Father,
Son,
Spirit Holy.
I appeal to Mary,
Aidful mother of men,
I appeal to Bride,
Foster-mother of Christ omnipotent,
I appeal to Columba,
Apostle of shore and sea,
And I appeal to heaven,
To all saints and angels that be above.
If it be a man that has done thee harm.
With evil eye.
With evil wish,
With evil passion,
Mayest thou cast off each ill,
Every malignity,
Every malice,
Every harassment,
And mayest thou be well for ever,
While this thread
Goes round thee,
In honour of God and of Jesus,
And of the Spirit of balm everlasting.
