OOOOhhhh…..eeeeee…..oooeeeeeyoooo…. O moon, pale and alone like me O inhabitant in deserted skies as I in lonely wilds with my ghost baby; let us put a charm together a curse on men who betray their wives and who put their seeds in young unwise girls and run away and hint the naive could **** themselves and their babies OOOOhhhh…..eeeeee…..oooeeeeeyoooo…. O moon, pale and alone listen to my tale: a charmer dazzled my mind and put his seeds in my womb; and he told me he loved me but he had other duties and he said I should be ashamed for being such a loose woman and I should **** myself and so take my baby within me OOOOhhhh…..eeeeee…..oooeeeeeyoooo…. O moon, pale and alone feel the pain and horror in my mind as I am doomed to deliver this script night and night in this wilderness Behold this infant I hold in my hand this ghost of a baby that has never seen life ******* at my milk-less white breast OOOOhhhh…..eeeeee…..oooeeeeeyoooo…. O moon, pale and alone come, let us put a charm together a curse on men who betray their wives and who put their seeds in unwise girls and run away and hint the naive **** themselves and their babies OOOOhhhh…..eeeeee…..oooeeeeeyoooo…. O moon, lend me your strength and power let us weave a curse, let us cast it over such he-devils: May their genitals rot eaten by vermin; may their eyes be eaten by giant flies; and may their evil turn into sharp-teethed ravenous worms and stampede inside their bodies and eat all their internal organs and may these huge-bellied worms eat every nerve and eat their brains part by part O may such men die in pain, in madness before their very wives Lend me your power lend me strength and curse with me O moon, pale and alone like me inhabitant in deserted skies as I in lonely wilds with my ghostly baby that has never seen life OOOOhhhh…..eeeeee…..oooeeeeeyoooo….
