(8) INVOCATION TO EXCITE HATRED. 
Shoots of the Hate plant, leaves of the Hate plant. I pluck seven 
stalks, seven leaves. I cut them seven times, and cut the heart of 
(the son of such an one.)* Look on that person as you look upon ashes, 
as you look upon a swamp. Sitting, hate! Sleeping, hate ! Walking, 
hate! Eating, hate! Bathing, hate ! Drinking, hate ! Come, sha¬ 
dow of (such an one.) Until three days are passed, hate to look on 
l,such an one.) Look on me alone as surpassingly sweet, as if you saw 
that which shone brightly on my face. Twelve days, when the sun 
descends, let your spirit descend together with it, when the sun 
rises, let the spirit of (such an one) rise together with it. 
'*■ Here the name of the person against whom the doa is directed is men¬ 
tioned, when using it.
