    (continued from previous page)
    A fog in the morning is a shepherd's warning
    "When the soot falls and Spaniels sleep,
    And spiders from their cob-webs creep
    And Betty's joints are on the racks
    Loud quack the ducks.
    The peacocks cry
    The distant hills are looking nigh.
    How restless look the snorting swine.
    The busy fly disturbs the kine"
    These are signs of rain.
