If Christmas Day on Monday be,
A great winter that year you'll see.
What chyld on that day boorn be,
Of gret worscheyp schall he be.
MS. in Bodleian.
If that Christmas Day should fall
Upon Friday, know well all
That winter season shall be easy,
Save great winds aloft shall fly.
Easter in snow, Christmas in mud;
Christmas in snow, Easter in mud.
