Thackaray in Duck-lane, n.d. In black-letter, with wood-cuts, containing much that is curious and illustrative of old popular notions. Under this heading, "the mind of the fathers of the nature of the fire," we are told, - "When the fire sparkleth, it betokeneth rain. When the fire giveth much flame, or else when a man taketh an hasten, and lifteth it up by the coals, and if the coals do hang thereon, that betokeneth wind and rain. "When the cold in the winter ceaseth, And when a man snow findeth, If there be dark clouds thereby, Then look for rain verily: If the frog in the morning do cry, Betokeneth rain great plenty."
