- O Dagda of my love,
- Thou it is who woulds't us guide,
- Thou fragrant body of grace,
- I invoke you!
- Hear us, thou All-Father,
- Who didst encircle and protect thy people,
- Succour thou us in time of need,
- I implore you!
- Lift our flocks to the hills,
- Quell the wolf and the fox,
- Ward from us evil spectre and fury
- And enchantment.
- Encircle Coven and Covenstead,
- Encircle family and pets,
- Keep from them the dark star,
- And the night-mare.
- Sprinkle dew from your cauldron upon us
- Give growth to grass, and corn, and sap to plants,
- Watercress, deer's-grass, 'ceis', burdock,
- And daisy.
- O Ruad-rofhessa,
- On the barque of the gods,
- On the crests of the waves,
- On the sea, on the land,
- Aid and preserve us.
