This piece is used in its entirety at the beginning of Quasarmoon, the 5th in my line of science fiction stories.
Irish Prayer Against The Wolf-beast After sunset whence comes dark Nyx and up comes grey rabbit-of-the-moon Silvered light rippling on the Styx The waking of the night-beast soon Utburds fear its wavering howl Its cry turns sprites to stone Silent as the Blodeuwedd owl Claws sharpened from the hone The transformation now begins The pain is much too great There can never be repent for sins Its fangs are bared in hate If we are cursed, oh please Patrick take silver and do shoot us If not, my Saint, then do protect because we fear the Lupus. �EDD
