Anglo-Saxon Charm For the Healing of Spear-Wounds

Fighting spears forged they.

Out spear, out !
No longer stay in !
If any iron be found herein,
The work of witches, away it must melt.
Be thou shot in the fell.
Be thou shot in the flesh.
Be thou shot in the blood,
Be thou shot in the bone,
Be thou shot in the limb.

Thy life shall be shielded.
Be it shot of Esa,
Be it shot of Elves,
Be it shot of Hags,
I help thee surely.

This for cure of Esa-shot,
This for cure of Elf-shot,
This for cure of Hag-shot,
I help thee surely.
Witch fly away to the woods and the mountains.
Healed be thy hurt ! So help thee the Lord.
