- "Break the mirror: seven years bad luck.""A relative is dead: the banshee is crying.""choose a wife neat hand but choose a choose far away.""A green Christmas ; a fat graveyard.""Two is company, three is a crowd four in a bed is never allowed." "Here is the priest; where is the besom.""Mary won't get married inside of twelve months; the stool fell behind her.""A stranger is coming; a coal fell in front of the fire." "He has not nails to scratch himself," said of a man who is in bad circumstances."Whenever you meet a boy, hit him for if he is not doing damage he is thinking of it""Do not go to fish: the mist is coming in the mountain.""When going to a fair if a red haired woman is met, bad luck is on the way for the following day.""Great heat is off the fire to-night,: cold weather is coming.""The hens are out late to-night; to-morrow will be a wet day.""The starts are glittering in the sky; a soul is gone to heaven.""Snow is coming soon, the cat is sitting near the fire and she has her back to it." "A tinker is dead; the ass is braying.""Some of our relations are dead, the cock is crowing and it is not twelve o'clock""High wind is coming: the cat is scratching the leg of a chair.""A stranger is coming to-day; two hens were fighting on the door-step."
