HYMN XXII

A charm against jaundice 1. As the Sun rises, let thy sore disease and yellowness depart.   We compass and surround thee with the colour of a ruddy ox. 2. With ruddy hues we compass thee that thou mayst live a leng-    thened life:   So that this man be free from harm, and cast his yellow tint    away. 3. Devatyās that are red of hue, yea, and the ruddy-coloured    kine,   Each several form, each several force—with these we compass    thee about. 4. To parrots and to starlings we transfer thy sickly yellowness:   Now in the yellow-coloured birds we lay this yellowness of    thine.
