One's unlucky,

Two's lucky,

Three is health,

Four is wealth,

Five is sickness,

Six is death.

Ne quodcumque uelit poscat sibi fabula credi,

Neu pransae lamiae puerum uiuum extrahat aluo.



Which Francis translates:



The probable maintain,

Nor force us to believe the monstrous scene,

Which shows a child, by a fell witch devour'd,

Dragg'd from her entrails, and to life restor'd.

The phantom, child of heaven,

Which the gods remember,

The Innin (hobgoblin) prince

Of the lords

The . . .

Which produces painful fever,

The vampire which attacks man,

The Uruku multifold

Upon humanity,

May they never seize him!
