Toadstone

The toadstone, also known as bufonite (from Latin bufo, "toad"), is a mythical stone or gem that was thought to be found in the head of a toad. It was supposed to be an antidote to poison and in this it is like batrachite, supposedly formed in the heads of frogs. Toadstones were actually the button-like fossilized teeth of Lepidotes, an extinct genus of ray-finned fish from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They appeared to be "stones that are perfect in form" and were set by European jewellers into magical rings and amulets from Medieval times until the 18th century. more »

Death, reaper of souls empty, outcast, alone 
Spies out in the fields beauty so fair 
So seizing his chance takes her away with him 
Where sunlight can't reach and mortals wont dare 

Hope, while there is hope freedom she may yet find 
But, try maiden not the food or the wine 
Temptation is strong you must resist his charms 
One morsel you try you're his for all time 

Alas she proves too weak six seeds have passed her lips 
But merciful death allows her to go 
Six months must she stay six months she's free to go 
Spring, freedom above winter below
