SWALLOW-WORT.
A means to overcome and end all fighting and anger, and to cause a sick
man to weep when his health is restored, or to sing with a cheerful voice
when on his death bed; also a very good remedy for dim eyes or shining of
the eyes. This weed grows at the time when the swallows build their nests
or eagles breed. If a man carries this about him, together with the heart of a

the head of a sick man, he shall weep at the restoration of his health, and
sing with a cheerful voice when he comes to die. When the swallow-wort
blooms, the flowers must be pounded up and boiled, and then the water
must be poured off into another vessel, and again be placed to the fire and
carefully skimmed; then it must be filtered through a cloth and preserved,
and whosoever has dim eyes or shining eyes, may bathe his eyes with it,
and they will become clear and sound.
