九つの薬草の呪文 * The Nine Herbs Charm

Cardamine hirsuta

A snake came crawling, it bit a man.
Then Woden took nine glory-twigs,
Smote the serpent so that it flew into nine parts.
There apple brought this pass against poison,
That she nevermore would enter her house.

蛇が這い来たりて人傷つけたり。
ウォーデン九つなる栄光の枝を取り、
蛇を打ちつくるに、これ九つに砕け散りぬ。
ここにおいてアップルは毒に打ち克ちて、
以後蛇人の家に住まうことを欲さざるなり。
