On going to bed, take off your under garment and turn it wrong side outwards; hang it on the back of a chair, having first placed the chair facing and in front of the bed. While doing this, repeat the following lines: Husband approach! and without fear Sit on this chair, and thus be near The girl your heart doth hold most dear And if thy love is all sincere, To her, this night appear! appear! You must then get into bed backwards, and sleep in your night-gown without any shift. You will probably dream of seeing an agreeable young man, in which case your marriage within that year is certain. If you do not dream of a man, you will never marry. You should be alone in trying this charm, for if you speak to any one, or any one in the room speaks, it breaks it at once. |
