360 THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF
God's Shield to protect me,
God's Host to secure me,
Against snares of demons,
Against seductions of vices,
Against lusts of nature,
Against every one who wishes ill to me,
Afar and anear,
Alone and in a multitude !
So have I invoked all these virtues between me and
these, Against every cruel merciless power whicli may come
against my body and my soul; Against incantations of false prophets, Against black laws of heathenry, Against false laws of heretics, Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and druids, Against every knowledge that defiles men's souls. Christ to protect me to-day, Against poison, against burning, against drowning,
against deathwound, Until a multitude of rewards come to me !
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me! Christ below me, Christ above me, Christ at my right,
Christ at my left! Christ in breadth, Christ in length, Christ in height I Christ in the heart of every one who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of every one who speaks to me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me !
