1/20 in England: St Agnes Eve.
A girl might take a sprig of rosemany and one of thyme, sprinkle them
three times. In the evening she puts one in each shoe & the shoes on each
side of the bed. Her future husband will appear if she says:
St. Agnes that's to lovers kind,
Come ease the trouble of my mind.
English Folk-Rhymes, GF Northall, 1892
