Prière
Saint Francis and Saint Benedight
Blesse this house from wicked wight;
From the night-mare and the goblin,
That is hight good fellow Robin;
Keep it from all evil spirits,
Fairies, weezels, rats, and ferrets:
From curfew time
To the next prime.
– Cartwright.
– Washington Irving,The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent, Christmas Eve.
