In it I dress myself and then proceed to hunt the sudden stroke, to combat the elfshot disease. I hunt the WORDS OF HEALING POWER 109 stroke to fields run wild, I blow the elfshots to the clouds. If he has shot one arrow forth, two arrows I shall shoot ; if he has shot two arrows forth, three arrows I shall shoot ; if with three arrows he has shot, again I shoot with several, a hundred arrows I discharge, a thousand I launch forth. My bolts are swift and stronger are my tools of steel. An eagle... rose from Korvio, a ' steely jaws ' from a muddy strand, a ' scaly back ' from a gravelly place to sit upon a flat stone's edge, to fray a boulder's edge. I snatched away the eagle's claws with which I meet the fiend, drive elfshot-sicknesses away, with which I scratch paralysis and claw attacks of sickness, too. Attacks of sickness are threefold: the one approaches by the swamp, another by the winter road, the third along the water springs ; it is the mildest of attacks that strode along the ground ; it is the intermediate sort that came by water here ; it is the worst of all attacks that has arrived along the swamp.
