wren
Shall never be beloved by men.

The wanton boy that kills the fly
Shall feel the spider's enmity.

The beggar's dog and widow's cat,
Feed them, and thou shalt grow fat.

If you want to live and thrive,
Let a spider run alive.

WELSH

Whoso does a wren's nest steal,
Shall God's bitter anger feel.

WARWICK

The martin and the swallow
Are God Almighty's bow and arrow.

RAILWAY FLAGS

White for right, red for wrong,
Green for gently go along.

Five score to the hundred of men, money, and pins,
Six score to the hundred of all other things.

WELSH RHYME

Next to the lion and the unicorn,
The leek's the fairest emblem that is worn.

A Friday dream on a Saturday told,
Is sure to come true ere it's nine days old.

Under the furze is hunger and cold,
Under the broom is silver and gold.

Find odd-leafed ash, or even-leaved clover,
And you'll see your true love before the day's over.

Eat an apple going to bed,
Knock the doctor on the head.

King Grin,
Better than all medicin.

When Adam dolve, and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?

I see the moon, and the moon sees me,
God bless the moon, and God bless me.

WEATHER AND SEASON RHYMES

January brings the snow,
Makes our feet and fingers glow.

February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.

March brings breezes loud and shrill,
Stirs the dancing daffodil.

April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daisies at our feet.

May brings flocks of pretty lambs,
Skipping by their fleecy dams.

June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children's hands with posies.

Hot July brings cooling showers,
Apricots and gillyflowers.

August brings the sheaves of corn,
Then the harvest home is borne.

Warm September brings the fruit,
Sportsmen then begin to shoot.

Fresh October brings the pheasant,
Then to gather nuts is pleasant.

Dull November brings the blast,
Then the leaves are whirling fast.

Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire and Christmas treat.

The moon and the weather
May change together;
But change of the moon
Does not change the weather;
If we'd no moon at all,
And that may seem strange,
We still should hav
