Half a loaf is better than no bread.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.Till May is out,
Cast not a clout.A swarm of bees in May,
Is worth a load of hay.
A swarm of bees in June,
Is worth a silver spoon.In April the cuckoo shows his bill
In May he sings both night and day,
In June he altereth his tune,
In July away he will fly
In August go he must.He who bathes in May
Will soon be laid clay,
He who bathes in June
Will sing a merry tune
He who bathes in July(continues on next page)
