'here's a top twenty of old Irish curses that will have your enemies shaking in their evil shoes...
1. may the snails devour your corpse and the rains rot it. worse, may the Devil sweep you away, you hairy creature.
(...)
3. may yourself go stone-blind so that you will not know your wife from a haystack.
4. may the seven terriers of hell sit on your breast and bark at your soul.
5. may you suffer bound-wounding, heartache and vultures gouging your eyes.
(...)
8. may dysentery take you.
9. may the Devil cut the head off you and make a day's work of your neck.
10. may the Devil swallow you sideways.
11. may the Devil take you by the heels and shake you.
12. may the child within you forever be unborn. or if he be born, may he not be like a Christian. a pig's snout on him, the mouth of a sheep and the beak of a duck that could dredge the sludge.
13. may you be afflicted with the itch and have no nails to scratch with.
(...)
15. may six horse-loads of graveyard clay fall on top of you.
16. the death of kittens on you.
(...)'
