    “The moon through the glass brings sorrow to the lass.”

    The moon through the glass brings sorrow to the lass.
    People out of their heads become bad at new moon but improve as the moon grows.
    Births recur at change of moon.
    If you meet a funeral you should always walk a few steps with it.
    You should never cross the road before a funeral.
    If you face going to a funeral it is very unlucky.
    Never count the cars at a funeral. You'll be dead in that number of years.
    If the child has the chin cough ask the first man you see driving a white horse and he'll give you a cure.
    Never leave the house without putting the thongs across the cradle in one.
