- On New Year's Day the daylight lengthens as far as a cock's crow carries
- As white as the foam on the rocks.
As white as the Virgin's garment.
As white as the soul of a child.As rich as a king.
As rich as honey's taste.
As rich as Ireland's soil.As sweet as a blackbirds call in Harvest
As sweet as the fall of the wave on the strand.
As sweet as the speech of the Gael.As princely as a poor man.
As open-handed as St. Brigid.As firm as a rock.
As firm as a lobster's grip.
As firm as a Irish promise.
