    and listen to all you hear
    The thing which is not taken out of it will be found in it
    The war of friends doesn't last long
    It is not the most beautiful woman that is most sensible
    The world wouldn't make a racehorse of an ass

    Cross.
    The girls of the house go and gather fresh rushes. When they come to the door they have to be invited in then they make the cross. Then they drink tea and eat pancakes. They hand the cross from the roof in the outhouse to bring in the blessing of St Brigid
    Girdle
    Someone gets rushes and they make the girdle. They have to make three crosses on it.
