RObin Red-breast singeth under Hedges before Rain, but upon the tops of Trees before fair Weather. Hens lay abroad if it rain long, but under a Roof if it rain not long. The Herb Tidfolly looketh rough against a Tempest, and the Leaves stand staring; Hens resort to, the Pearch or Roof covered with dust: Also the alteration of the Cock's crowing, the pruning and washing of Birds in Win∣ter, the wallowing of Dogs, the ample working of the Spin∣ner
in the Air, the Ant busied with her Eggs, the Bees in fair Weather not going far, Rain suddenly dried up, the heaviness of Head and Eyes, the falling of Scot from Chim∣neys, the biting of Fleas, Flies and Gnats, the pissing often of Dogs, when Cattel eat greedily, and lick their Hoofs, if they suddenly run here and there, making a noise, and breathing into the Air with open Nostrils, also the croking of Frogs, Moles tairs up the Ground, the unaccustomed noise of Poultry or Swine, the caying of Crows twice or thrice quick calling, are signs of tempestuous Weather to follow. Little Rain in Winter, is sign of a wet Spring to follow; and a hot dry Summer, is sign of a wet Winter: When it beginneth to freeze with an East-wind, cold Wea-Weather is like to continue.
