I counsel thee, Stray-Singer, accept my counsels,they will be thy boon if thou obey’st them,they will work thy weal if thou win’st them:when ale thou quaffest, call upon earth’s might—‘tis earth drinks in the floods.[Earth prevails o’er drink, but fire o’er sickness,the oak o’er binding, the earcorn o’er witchcraft,the rye spur o’er rupture, the moon o’er rages,herb o’er cattle plagues, runes o’er harm.]
