To Enchant A Ring, For Marrying |

Buy a ring of common metal, Plain and narrow, colored gold, To fit the wedding finger well; Drop it in a vessal filled Half with wine and half with water, Add one oak leaf, one of willow. Tow of bay and two of grass, And the name of whom you love Written on a silver paper; Keep the vessel covered tight Near a window, in the sun, From crescent moon until the full- Then rub the ring and wear it hidden On a string around your neck; But never tell the name you seek Until you take it for your own. |
