Its seeds in Autumn fall:
Then, in a folded paper,
Save them, gather them all--
The loose seeds,
The brown seeds,
The dry seeds,
The round seeds,
The seeds like tarnished pennies
That pay for the blossoms tall;
Bury their rusty treasure
Next to a southern wall--
With a mint coin,
An ancient coin,
A silver coin,
A copper coin:
By Spring your wealth shalt measure
Twelve times this sowing small.
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.
CLIPEUS ORNATUS,
ARGENTUM SIGNATUM,
MERCURIUS ARGENTEUS:
TEGE, TEGE, TEGE.
When the grinning cat has three times mewed,
When the toad has croaked three times in the wood,
At the red of the moon may this money be good.
