Nursery Rhyme. C. Proverbs.

    As the days grow longer,
    The storms grow stronger.

    A sunshiny shower,
    Won't last half an hour.

    St. Swithin's day, if thou dost rain,
    For forty days it will remain:
    St. Swithin's day, if thou be fair,
    For forty days 'twill rain na mair.

            In July,
    Some reap rye;
            In August,
    If one will not the other must.

    The mackerel's cry,
    Is never long dry.

    He that goes to see his wheat in May,
    Comes weeping away.
