    Friday's child is loving and forgiving,
    Saturday's child works hard for its living
    But the hcild that is born on the Sabbath day is handsome, wise, loving and gay.
    There are also other remarks on days which sneeze
    Sneeze on Monday sneeze for danger,
    Sneeze on Tuesday see a stranger,
    Seneeze on Wednesday get a letter (sneeze for sorrow,)
    Sneeze on Thursday something better
    Sneeze of Friday sneeze for sorrow,
    Sneeze on (Thursday), Saturday you will see your sweetheart tomorrow.
    The old people say it is unlucky to mow with a sythe on Lady day which falls on the eight of September. It is also supposed to work a mill wheel or to work a spinning wheel on the eleventh of November to be unlucky.
