"Christ was of a virgin born:
And he was pricked by a thorn,
And it did never 'bell' (fester),
And I trust in Jesus this never will."
Or,
"Christ was crowned with thorns,
The thorns did bleed but did not rot,
No more shall thy--(mentioning the part affected):
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."
In prose: "When Christ was upon the middle earth the Jews pricked
him, his blood sprung up into heaven, his flesh never rotted nor
'fustered,' no more I hope will not thine. In the name," etc.--From
Mr. T. Q. Couch, who gives two others very similar.
