- Here on my bed my limbs I lay,
God give me strength my prayers to say
O God! preserve my mother dear,
In health and strength for many a year,
And O! preserve my father too
There are four corners on my bed,(continues on next page)
- St Peter sat on a marble stone,
Christ came to him and he all alone,
"What ails thee Peter? said He,
"The Toothache!"
Rise Peter: and I shall cure thy ache
Whoever says this prayer in right and in mind an for My sake
Shall never be troubled with the toothache - Informant
