Little Betty Blue

Little Betty Blue
Lost her holiday shoe,
What shall little Betty do?
Buy her another
To match the other,
And then she’ll walk upon two.

Of the Cutting of Nails

CUT them on Monday, you cut them for health;
Cut them on Tuesday, you cut them for wealth;
Cut them on Wednesday, you cut them for news;
Cut them on Thursday, a pair of new shoes;
Cut them on Friday, you cut them for sorrow;
Cut them on Saturday, you’ll see your true-love to-morrow;
Cut them on Sunday, and you will have ill fortune all through the week.
