"I see the new moon, the moon sees me,
Got bless the new moon, God bless me"(ii)
"There I lay me down to sleep
I give my soul to God to keep
And if there is anything to happen me
I pray to God to waken me
And if I die before I wake
I pray to God my Soul to take
Rise now, Rise never
I give my Soul to God forever.
Sweet Jesus sit on Mary's knees
To grant me grace to honour three
Upon Mount Calvary the bloody sweat.The by those who say
This prayer three times by night
Three times by day
Shall never enter the gates of hell"(iii)
Here I lay me down to sleep
To God I give me soul to keep
As there is four corners on my bed
As there are four angels on each stead(continues on next page)- Collector
