The part is then spat upon and crossed three times in the names p. 3 of the three Persons of the Trinity, whether it be the breast of a woman or the udder of a cow. The legend says that Mary and Jesus were walking together when Mary took rose (erysipelas) in her breast, and she said to Jesus:--\n| | p. 2 | | p. 3 | \n| | AIC, a Mhic \u2019s a Chriosda, Cioch do Mhathar air at; Thoir-sa fois dh\u2019 an chich, Cuir-s\u2019 an crion an t-at; Thoir-sa fois dh\u2019 an chich, Cuir-s\u2019 an crion an t-at.

Chithim, thubhairt Criosda, Is nithim mar is fiu, Bheirim fois dh\u2019 an chich, \u2019S bheirim sith dh\u2019 an uth; Bheirim fois dh\u2019 an chich, \u2019S bheirim sith dh\u2019 an uth. | | BEHOLD, Son and Christ, The breast of Thy Mother swollen; Give Thou peace to the breast, Subdue Thou the swelling; Give Thou peace to the breast, Subdue Thou the swelling. Behold it thyself, Queen, Since of thee the Son was born, Appease thou the breast, Subdue thou the swelling; Appease thou the breast, Subdue thou the swelling. See Thou it, Jesu, Since Thou art King of life; Appease Thou the breast, Subdue Thou the udder; Appease Thou the breast, Subdue Thou the udder. I behold, said Christ, And I do as is meet, I give ease to the breast, And rest to the udder; I give ease to the breast, And rest to the udder. |","title":"Carmina Gadelica Vol. 2: IV. Uibe.
