THE CLUB-MOSS

GARBHAG an t-sleibh air mo shiubhal,
Chan eirich domh beud no pudhar;
Cha mharbh garmaisg, cha dearg iubhar mi,
Cha riab grianuisg no glaislig uidhir mi.

THE club-moss is on my person,
No harm nor mishap can me befall;
No sprite shall slay me, no arrow shall wound me,
No fay nor dun water-nymph shall tear me.
