    "Sneeze, Pretty, sneeze, Dainty,
           Else the Elves will have you sure,
    Sneeze, Light-of-Seven-Bright-Candles,
           See they're tippeting at the door;
    Their wee feet in measure falling,
    All their little voices calling,
    Calling, calling, calling, calling -
           Sneeze, or never come no more!"
                           "A-tishoo!"
