  1. SUPERSTITION: He that regards The crowing of a hen, a fox with young, Hare, cat or weasel crossing his way, a snake Dropt from the tile, a black dog at his door, A left hand magpie or a right hand thunder, Must never sleep ! The very peasant now Can half look through them. — Wilson, Andro., v. 2. NEALS COLLECTANEA
