And the field where rye was waving
Was the field of youthful matrons,
And the field where wheat was springing
Was the share of youthful maidens.

CHARM AGAINST SNAKE-BITE.[81]

Thou beneath the bridge, the smooth wood
Under juniper the rough wood,
Thou the arrow in the willows,
O thou challenged gold-adorned one,
Earthy-coloured, liver-coloured,
Rainy-hued and hazel-coloured,
Firebrand hued and cherry-coloured,
Do not thou in secret bite me,
Nor attack me unsuspecting,
Do not bite me when I heed not.

[Footnote 81: Kreutzwald and Neus, _Mythische und magische Lieder_, p.
7. Charms of this kind are very common in Finland and Esthonia, and a
whole volume has been published by the Finnish Literary Society under
the name of _Loitsurunoja_, selections from which have been recently
published in "Folklore" by the Hon. John Abercromby.]
