    Oh Peter, Peter, why does thy not eat.
    Oh Lord it is the pain of the tootache
    Here is another prayer they used to say when going to bed.
    2) Gentle Jesus meek and mild look down on me and pray for me.
    3) Oh Angel of God.
    My guardian dear.
    To whom God's love commits me here,
    Ever this day be at my side
    To save and rule and guide amen.
    4) I lay my body down to sleep.
    I pray to God my soul to keep.
    If any evil happens me.
    Holy Mary waken me.
