A charm against fear

1As Heaven and Earth are not afraid, and never suffer loss or
   harm,
  Even so, my spirit, fear not thou.
2As Day and Night are not afraid, nor ever suffer loss or harm,
  Even so, my spirit, fear not thou.
3As Sun and Moon are not afraid, nor ever suffer loss or harm.
  Even so. my spirit, fear not thou.
4As Brāhmanhood and Princely Power fear not, nor suffer loss,
   or harm,
  Even so, my spirit, fear not thou.
5As Truth and Falsehood have no fear, nor ever suffer loss or
   harm,
  Even so, my spirit, fear not thou.
6As What Hath Been and What Shall Be fear not, nor suffer loss
   or harm,
  Even so, my spirit, fear not thou.
