    Marriage Rhyme
    Marry in the blue he is sure to be true.
    Marry in grey you will be far away.
    Marry in red you are sure to be fed.
    Marry in black you will be always black.
    Marry in green he will always be mean.
    Married in white you have chosen a right.
    Married in pink your spirits will sink.
    Married in red you'll wish yourself dead.
    Married in black you'll wish yourself back.
