The childing autumn, angry winter change
Their wonted liveries, and the mazèd world
By their increase now knows not which is which.”

That every man should take his own,
In your waking shall be shown.
Jack shall have Jill,
Naught shall go ill:
The man shall have his mare again, and all shall be well.”
