- There are four corners on my bed. Four angles on it spread, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John God bless this bed that I lay on. If I die before I awake to God I give my soul to take, and if any evil spirit comes my way I hope the Almighty God will set me free.I rake this fire with the will of God, Saint Bridget at each end of the house and Blessed Virgin in the middle. Twenty nine angles be guarding this house and all that is in it mourning.
