  1. (continued from previous page)
    married couple.
    Married in blue he will surely be True.
    Married in grey you will go far away.
    Married in brown you will live in the Town.
    Married in green you’ll be surely seen.
    Married in yellow you’ll be ashamed of the fellow.
    Married in Pink your poor heart will sink.
    Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday the best day of all. Thursday for losses and Friday for Crosses and Saturday no luck at all.
    Happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
