The Moon.

When hoo fulls at ye midnight, or soone after that,

In ye sommer, great heat,

In ye winter, hard frost.

When hoo fulls at ye midday, or soone after that,

Winter cries, “O ye rain,”

Summer says, “Cheshire’s lost.”

—Old Cheshire Household Book, 1675-85.

(Hoo is the old English “she.”)
