   Peter sat on a marble stone, the Lord came to him all alone. "Peter, oh Peter, what is the ache"
   "My Lord and my master it is toothache"
   "Who ever says these words and keeps them in memory for my sake, shall never be troubled with toothache.
   The old people say the following prayer when they are going to sleep.

   Here I am lying down to sleep, I give my soul to God to keep, and if I die before I wake, I hope my soul that God will take.
   There are four corners on my bed, and four bright angels oe'r my head. St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, and St. John, God bless this bed that I lie on.

   The old people say this prayer every morning and night.
   On good Friday morning the Jews entered with sharp spears on their hands, that pierced Our Saviour's tender body.
