SKVR textEnglish
Jos lapsi sairastui yskään, istui hoitaja kynnykselle, otti lapsen polvilleen ja kylvetti luudalla lasta hokien:
1Mist lie puuskut puuttuneet,From where might the gusts have sprung,
2vilutauvit tarttuneet!the chill-sicknesses have taken hold!
3Mää, yskä, äskelää,I, the Cough, newly arisen,
4anna ämmiin rykkii,let me charge into the hags,
5koukkuleukoin koukutella!to lure the hook-jawed ones!
