Robert Chambers's " Popular Rhymes of Scotland. " WEDDING DAY SUPERSTITIONS AND CUSTOMS. Before the Reformation, only thirty-two weeks in the year were granted to pious people in which they could contract marriage, in spiritual comfort, unless they had purchased a special dispensation of an ecclesiastical rule. The Church forbade marriages to be celebrated between the first Sunday of Advent and Hilary day, between Septuagesima and Low Sunday, and between Rogation Sunday and Trinity Sunday. At t...he commencement of the Register of St. Mary's Parish, Beverley, Yorkshire, occur the following curi- ous lines by the Rev. Nicholas Osgodby, who was at the time vicar of the parish : " Rules for Marriage, the Time, &>c. " When Advent comes do thou refraine Till Hillary sett ye free againe ; 296 SUPERSTITIONS CONCERNING MARRIAGE. Next Septuagessima saith thee nay, But when Low Sunday comes thou may; Yet at Rogation thou must tarrie Till Trinitie shall bid thee mary. "Nov. 25, 1641. " The same injunctions are in another rhyme, as follows : "Advent marriage doth deny, But Hilary gives thee liberty ; Septuagesima says thee nay, Eight days from Easter says you may ; Rogation bids thee to contain, But Trinity sets thee free again.
