    Othra an Gábhal Treith
    "A disease - give breast in women)
    People in ancient times believed that the Blessed Virgin and St Brigid lived together. They were confronted with a case of this nature. The following dialogue ensued and was converted into a charm which was handed down through the centuries.
    Muire - Feúchar siúd a Bhríghid
    Cích na mná ata ag at.
    Brigidh - Feúch féin a Mhuire
    Ó's tú thoilig Mac.
    Muire - Feúch ar súida Mhic
    Ó's tú léigheann gac beart
    Íosa - Slán go raibh a Cích
    Agus críon go raibh i d' at.
