    One night long ago at a wedding the fairies came and took the bride away.
    In a few nights after she was met by another party on horse back.
    She told one man to tell her husband to meet her on such a school cross and she told the man in Irish and to have a glass of holy water and a blessed candle in his pocket - a spear blessed by a priest and a cock to crow three times and when the crowd of fairies horses would be passing by he would know herself among the rest of them
