Her mother was of 15 Connaught and her father of the men of Munster, and she was at that time in Mag Fenamna in Cliach. Now when Brigit got as far as that, her mother was with an eye-disorder at the milking-yard. Brigit went with the wizard's charioteer to her mother, and took the cooking in her stead, and she used to perform great charity with the wealth ; and the wizard 30 heard that. The charioteer went home. ' How is it at the milking- place ? ' said the wizard. ' I am contented in the first place,' said the charioteer, 'and the calves are fat, and the guests are contented.' And the wizard and his wife were displeased that charity was wrought by Brigit. So they came, with a large hamper, to get a chance*' at Brigit 35 and to enslave her afterwards unless plenty of butter were found with her. And yet she had only the produce of a churning and a half. So she repeated this stave : 'My store-room, a store-room of fair God, a store- room which my King has blessed, a store-room with somewhat therein.' And she said again: 'May Mary's son, my Friend, come to bless my 40 store-room ! The Prince of the world to the border, may there be plenty with Him !' And she said a third time : 'O my Prince, who hast power over all these things ! Bless, O God — a cry unforbidden — with Thy right hand this store-room ! ' She parted the churnings (into three) sub etc. A half-churning she then brought out of the store-room. 'That is good to 45 fill a big hamper!' said the wizard's wife. 'Fill ye }'our hamper,' said Brigit, 'and God will put somewhat therein' ...' F™« 2. fdn douc a bantigema chuci dond arge ar chend imbi, * a waggon which her mistress [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
