10:-Marry when the year is new
Always loving kind and true,
When February birds do mate,
If you wed nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow,
Gay and sorrow both you'll know.
Marry in April when you can
Joy for maiden and for man.
Marry in the month of May
You will surely rue the day.
Marry when June winds blow
Over land and sea you'll go.(continues on next page)
