- Saturdays flitting is short sitting.
A wet and windy month of May fills the haggards with corn and hay.
Happy is the bride the sun shines on, happy is the corpse the rain falls on.
Never buy a pig in a poke.
It is an old saying, the bride on her wedding day should wear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
A stitch in time saves nine.
April showers bring up spring flowers.
When ignorance is bliss tis folly to be wise.
Sufficient on to the day is the good or the evil thereof.
Christmas comes but once a year and when it comes it brings cheer.
