    When Jesus saw the cross he shook
    And the Jews asked him was it fever or ague he had or did he shake in dread of them
    But Jesus answered, it is neither fever nor ague nor do I shake in dread of you
    But anyone who carries this in writing or in mind Shall not get fever nor ague
    Jesus, Mary and Joseph
    Amen.
