"Against a Dwarf" (Old English: Ƿið Dƿeorh) is an Anglo-Saxon metrical charm found in the Lacnunga. It requires writing the names of the Seven Sleepers onto seven wafers, then singing an alliterative verse three times. The verse is written in half lines and was used for its assumed curative properties, although what the charm is supposed to be curing is still a matter of debate.
