Tusser.
On one side is a field of drooping oats,
Through which the poppies show their scarlet coats.
Keats.
August 24th. (St. Bartholomew's Day.)
If St. Bartholomew's Day be misty, the morning beginning with a hoar frost, then cold weather will soon ensue, and a sharp winter attended with many biting frosts.
Thomas Passenger.
