The Prayer of Erzsebet
[adapted from McNally's translation]

Help me, O Clouds.
O Clouds, stay by me.
Let no harm come to me.
Let me remain healthy and invincible.

Send, O send, you powerful Clouds, ninety cats...
I command you, O King of the Cats, I pray you...
May you gather them together,even if you are in the mountains, or on the waters, or on the roofs, or on the other side of the ocean...May these ninety cats appear to tear and destroy the hearts of kings and princes, And in the same way the hearts of teachers and judges, so they shall harm me not.

Holy Trinity, protect me.
