“May every hair of your turn into a wax candle and light your soul to glory.”
May every hair of your turn into a wax candle and light your soul to glory.
May your shadow never grow less.
May you never die till a goose-berry skin makes a night-cap for you.
May the Lord spare your eyesight.
May the Lord increase your store.
May the Lord increase your store and put in your heart to give me more.
May the Lord strengthen your arm.
May the Lord love you as I do.
May the mill that grinds your corn never want water to drive it.
May all your troubles be behind you and all your good fortune before you.
May the tree not yet be planted that'll make a coffin for you.
Good luck before you, bad luck behind you and the grace of God to guard and guide.
You weren't behind the door when they were dealing out the brains.(continues on next page)
