- Mansion verse
- Building under Willow brings official trouble, with furtive closures day and night and no moment of peace. Burial brings epidemic fears and illness; fields and gardens are lost, leaving winter hardship. Opening a door or releasing water brings deafness, blindness and a back bent like a bow. Beware also of punishment by beating; women are said to wander away with visitors.
