If the house is infected by a rage that will not be appeased, whether yours or another’s, you must find a toad in the garden and shut him up in a wicker basket.  Take this to where the afflicted sleeps and set it beneath his bed, letting it remain there through a whole night.  In the morning draw the basket out, bear it to a crossroads, and release the toad with these words:

Hence, toad,

Take thy road,

Get thee gone

And all thy bane;

Carry this anger

To a stranger,

Bring it never

Home again.
