- A palmful for thine age,
- A palmful for thy growth,
- A palmful for thy throat,
- A flood for thy speech.
- For thy share of the dainty,
- Crowdie and kail;
- For thy share of the taking,
- Honey and warm milk.
- For thy share of the supping,
- Whisked whey and cheese;
- For thy share of the spoil,
- With bow and with spear.
- For thy share of the preparation,
- The yellow eggs of Eostre;
- For thy share of the treat,
- The orange gourds of Samhain.
- For thy share of the feast
- With gifts and with tribute;
- For thy share of the treasure,
- With magic and with love.
- For thy share of the chase,
- Up the face of Bryn Aryen;
- For thy share of the hunting
- And the mustering of the hosts.
- For thy share of palaces,
- In the courts of kings;
- For thy share of the Summerland,
- In the courts of the Gods.
- The part of thee that does not grow at dawn,
- May it grow at eventide;
- The part of thee that does not grow at night,
- May it grow at ridge of mid-day.
- The three palmfuls
- Of the three Queens,
- To preserve thee
- From every envy,
- Evil eye and death;
- The palmful of the Mother of Love,
- The palmful of the Maiden of Beauty,
- The palmful of the Crone of Wisdom,
- Triad
- Of Magic.
