To Obtain A Particular Appointment or Position
When the night has fallen fully,
Raise one candle's fire
And write on virgin paper
All that you desire;
If any man can aid you,
There inscribe his name,
Followed by these others
For Power, Skill, and Fame:
HELIMAZ
FERIDOX
SOLADAR
Brush every word thereon
With a ragged crust of bread;
Then shred the paper, soak it
In water tinted red;
Wring it, press it small
As a lump of sodden dough -
Fling it from the house
As far as it will go.
