Saved from Death.
There was once a man who was sentenced to death and the judge said, "If you give me a riddle I am not able to solve I will let you free."
As I walked out and I walked in. Death I spied and life within. Six were set and the seventh free. Riddle me that and hung I will be.
The judge failed to answer this riddle so the man was set free.
Answer.
Six wren's eggs and the mother in a dead horse's skull. Collected by Annie Kavanagh, Lismoyle. From her father.
