It betokeneth warmth and growth:

If west, much milk and fish in the sea:

If north, much cold and snow there will be:

If east, the trees will bear much fruit:

If north-east, flee it, man and brute.

January has been described as follows:

The blackest month in all the year

Is the month of Janiveer.

In Janiveer, if the sun appear,

March and April will pay full dear.
