Upon May Eve--Woe on the house that gives
For they have power upon it for a year. I knew you would bring evil on the house MAURTEEN BRUIN. Who was she? MAIRE BRUIN. Both the tongue and face were strange. MAURTEEN BRUIN. Some strangers came last week to Clover Hill; She must be one of them. BRIDGET BRUIN. I am afraid. MAURTEEN BRUIN. The priest will keep all harm out of the house. FATHER HART. The Cross will keep all harm out of the house While it hangs there. |
