SKVR textEnglish
Niinpä, jos nousi ihmisen ihoon jonkulainen kipu, parani se sanoilla:
1Äkämä, pukama,Gall, boil,
2putkenpolttama,pipe-burned one,
3siirrä siaa,move from this spot,
4muuta majaa,change your abode,
5tänäpänä kirkko,today a church,
6huomenna kirppu,tomorrow a flea,
7yhreksän kertaa yhtenä yönä.nine times in a single night.
