Spell of the Eye II
Translated by Alexander Carmichael (1900) · From Carmina Gadelica, vol. II (1900): Incantations
The spell fair-white,
Sent of Mary Virgin,
To the daughter of Dorail,
Of the golden-yellow hair.
Hither on main-land,
Hither on coast-land.
Hither on lake-land.
Hither on ocean.
To thwart eye,
To thwart net,
To thwart envy,
To thwart hate.
To repel ' breotaich,'
To repel 'greotaich,'
To repel ' sreotaich,'
To repel rose.
