When you have and hold a need, harken not to other's greed.

With a fool no seasons spend, or be counted as his friend.

Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the Threefold Law you should, three times bad and three times good.

When misfortune is enow, wear the blue star on your brow.

True in love you must ever be, lest their love be false to thee.

These words the Wiccan Rede fulfil: An it harm none, do what you will.
