You avail against three and against thirty, You avail against poison and against infectious sickness, You avail against the loathsome fiend that wanders through the land.

And you, Plantain, mother of herbs, Open from the east, mighty from within. Over you carts creaked, over you queens rode, Brides exclaimed over you, over you bulls gnashed their teeth. Yet all these you withstood and fought against: So may you poison and infectious sicknesses resist And the loathsome fiend that wanders through the land. Stime this herb is named; on stone it grew. It stands against poison, it combats pain. Fierce it is called, it fights against venom, It expels malicious [demons], it casts out venom. This is the herb that fought against the snake, This avails against venom, it avails against infectious illnesses, It avails against the loathsome fiend that wanders through the land.

Fly now, Betonica, the less from the greater, The greater from the less, until there be a remedy for both.

Remember, Camomile, what you revealed, What you brought about at Alorford: That he nevermore gave up the ghost because of ills infectious, Since Camomile into a drug for him was made. This is the herb called Wergulu. The seal sent this over the ocean's ridge To heal the horror of other poison.

This is the herb that fought against the snake, This avails against venom, it avails against infectious illnesses, It avails against the loathsome fiend that wanders through the land.

A snake came sneaking, it slew a man. Then Woden took nine thunderbolts And struck the serpent so that in nine parts it flew.

There apple destroyed the serpent's poison That it nevermore in house would dwell. Thyme and Fennel, an exceeding mighty two, These herbs the wise Lord created, Holy in heaven, while hanging [on the cross]. He laid and placed them in the seven worlds, As a help for the poor and the rich alike. It stands against pain, it fights against poison, It is potent against three and against thirty, Against a demon's hand, and against sudden guile, Against enchantment by vile creatures.

Now these nine herbs avail against nine accurs&egrave;d spirits, Against nine poisons and against nine infectious ills, Against the red poison,against the running poison, Against the white poison, against the blue poison, Against the yellow poison, against the green poison, Against the black poison, against the blue poison, Against the brown poison, against the scarlet poison, Against worm-blister, against water-blister --HidariMigi (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:39, 11 March 2011 (UTC).
