Yellow-billed Magpie
Pica Nuttalli
(L 16.5" WS 24" WT 5 OZ )
One for sorrow, two for joy;
Three for a girl, four for a boy;
Five for silver, six for gold;
Seven for a secret, never to be told;
Eight for a wish, nine for a kiss;
Ten for a bird that‘s best to miss.
(Newer version)
One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told
Eight for heaven, nine for hell
And ten for the devil‘s own sel’.
(Derived from old Scottish superstition about magpies)
