Marvellous the flitch that she blessed ; 'twas God's might that secured it.
it was a full month with the hound ; the hound marred it not.
'Twas a wonder greater than any other wonder, a bit that she
asked from the (cauldron's) charge,
lo 48 it spoiled not the colour of her scapular; (though) boiling' it was
thrown into her bosom.
The leper who begged a boon of her, 'twas well that
to him :
