  1. (continued from previous page)
    (ar leam.)

    They who in July do wed
    must labour always for their bread
    Whoever wed in August be
    many changes are sure to see
    Marry in September shine
    Your living will be always fine.
    If in October you do marry
    Love will come and riches tarry
    If you wed in bleak November
    Only joy will come remember
    When December snows fall fast
    Marry and true love will last.

    (11)
    Monday for health
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for losses
    Friday for crosses
    And Saturday is no day atall.
