  1. 1.
    They who wash on Monday has all the day to dry.
    They who wash on Tuesday are not so much awry'
    They who wash on Wednesday are not so much to blame.
    They who wash on Thursday wash for shame.
    They who wash on Friday wash for every need.
    They who wash on Saturday, oh, they are sluts indeed.
    2.
    Sow Monday morning.
    Long legged Tuesday.
    Three glasses of grog on Wednesday.
    The week is spoiled on Thursday.
    Friday is a fast day.
    And sweet silver Saturday.
