Monday’s child, etc. An old anonymous English rhyme, dat- ing back about 150 years, says Monday’s child (a child born on a Monday) is fair of face. The rest of the rhyme goes: Tuesday’s child is full of grace, Wednesday’s child is full of woe, Thursday’s child has far to go, Friday’s child is loving and giving, Saturday’s child works hard for his living, But a child that is born on the Sabbath day, Is fair and wise and good and gay. |
