    It is not right to put round the rim of the loom on that day.

    It was a custom to kill a goose on St. Martins night.
    If you had not a goose any other sort of fowl we do as well.
    Nine nights after November night the people have for killing the goose.
    St Martins will take after his day but all before him.
