Charm for the Evil Eye

Whoso laid on thee the eye,
May it lie upon himself,
May it lie upon his house,
May it lie upon his flocks.
On the shuffling earlin.
On the sour-faced earlin.
On the bounding earlin,
On the sharp-shanked earlin,
Who arose in the morning,
With her eye on her flocks,
With her flocks in her ' seoin,'
May she never own a fold,
May she never have half her desires,
The part of her which the ravens do not eat,
May the birds devour.
Four made to thee the eye,
Man and dame, youth and maid ;
Three who will cast off thee the envy,
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
As Christ lifted the fruit.
From the branches of the bushes,
May he now lift off thee
Every ailment, every envy, every jealousy.
From this day forth till the last day of thy life.
