- July
He who bathes in May
Will soon be laid in clay
He who bathes in June
Will sing a merry tune
He who bathes in July
Will dance like a fly
A shower in July is worth a plough of oxen
A dry summer never begs its breadSwithins Days (15th July) if thou dost rain.
Forty days it will remain
Swithins Day if thou be fair
Forty days 'twill rain nae mairAugust

After Lammas corn ripens as much by night as by day.
A thick fog on an August morning betokens rain.
All the tears St. Swithen can cry,
Saint Bartholomew's mantle wipes dry.(continues on next page)- Collector
