Next, we quote two verses from “The Invocation of the Graces,” interesting as containing beautiful names from the ancient sagas:— A shade art thou in the heat, A shelter art thou in the cold, Eyes art thou to the blind, A staff art thou to the pilgrim, An island art thou at sea, A fortress art thou on land, A well art thou in the desert, Health art thou to the ailing. Thine is the skill of the Fairy Woman, Thine is the virtue of Bride the calm, Thine is the faith of Mary the mild, Thine is the tact of the woman of Greece, Thine is the beauty of Eimer the lovely, Thine is the tenderness of Darthula delightful, Thine is the courage of Meve the strong, Thine is the charm of Buine-bheul. Now follows an example of a charm for sprain:— Christ went out In the morning early, He found the legs of the horses In fragments soft; He put marrow to marrow, He put pith to pith, He put bone to bone, He put membrane to membrane, He put tendon to tendon, He put blood to blood, He put tallow to tallow, He put flesh to flesh, He put fat to fat, He put skin to skin, He put hair to hair, He put warm to warm, He put cool to cool. As the King of power healed that It is in his nature to heal this, If it be in his own will to do it. Through the bosom of the Being of life And of the Three of the Trinity. And, finally, we may take this as a good specimen of an invocation:— Bless, O Chief of generous Chiefs, Myself and everything anear me, Bless me in all my actions, Make Thou me safe for ever. Make Thou me safe for ever. From every brownie and ban-shee, From every evil wish and sorrow, From every nymph and water-wraith, From every fairy mouse and grass-mouse, From every fairy mouse and grass-mouse. From every troll among the hills, From every siren hard pressing me, From every ghoul within the glens, Oh! save me till the end of my day. Oh! save me till the end of my day.
