Origin Of Ache In Finnish Mythology

"I well know ague´s genes, I remember the villain´s origin. Ague was rocked by the wind, was put to sleep by chilly air, was brought by wind, was by water drawn, by hard weather was conveyed, came in the whirlwind of a storm, in the sleigh-tracks of a chilly blast against us wretched sufferers, against us poor unfortunates".

The origin of AKE I well know AKE's genesis and remember the villain's origin.

AKE was rocked by wind,

Was put to sleep by chilly air,

Was brought by wind,

Was by water drawn,

By hot weather was conveyed,

Came in the whirlwind of a storm,

In the slight tracks of a chilly blast against us wretched sufferers,

Against us poor unfortunates.
