a poem written in black ink on parchment paper with an image of a child's face

First recorded in A. E. Bray's Traditions of Devonshire in 1838, "Monday's Child" is one of many fortune-telling songs, popular as nursery rhymes for children.

Monday's child is fair of face. 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 must work for a living. The child born on the Sabbath Day is fair and wise and good and gay.
