- As St. Peter sat on on a marble stone
Jesus passed by and saw him alone
"What aileth they Peter? A tootache my Lord." "Rise up Peter, he said and take these words in my name,"Jesus who healeth all ills, heal me" and thou shalt never have a toothache
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
