Lunar Redes: Pray to the moon when she is round, Luck with you shall then abound What you seek for shall be found In sea or sky or solid ground. | When the moon is at the full, Mushrooms you may freely pull; But when the moon is on the wane, Wait ere you think to pluck again! | If the moon shows like a silver shield You need not be afraid to reap your field. But, if she rises haloed 'round, Soon we'll tread on deluged ground. | Sowe peasons and beanes, in the wane of the moone, Who soweth them sooner, he soweth too soon. That they with the planet might rest and arise, And flourish, with bearing most plentiful wise. | New moon, new moon, I hail thee! By all the virtue in thy body, Grant this night that I may see, He who my true love is to be. | Olde moon in a mist Is worth gold in a kist (CHEAST); But a new moon's mist Will never lack thirst. | |
