January
By her who in this month is born,
no gems save for garnets should be worn;
they will insure her (or his) constancy,
true friendship and fidelity.

February
The february born will find
Sincerity and peace of mind;
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they the Pearl (also green amethyst) will wear.

March
Who in this world of ours
their eyes
In March first open shall be
wise;
In days of peril firm and
brave,
and wear a bloodstone to their grave.

April
She (or he) who from April dates her
years,
Diamonds should wear, lewst
bitter tears
For vain repentance flow; this
stone,
Emblem of innocence is
known.

May
Who first beholds the light of
day
In spring's sweet flowery
month of may
and wears an Emerald all their
life,
shall be a loved and happy wife (or husband).

June
who comes with summer to
this earth
and owes to June their day of
birth,
with ring of Agate on their
hand,
can health, wealth, and long life
command.

July
The glowing Ruby should
adorn
those who in warm july are
born,
then will they be exempt and
free
from love's doubt and anxiety.

Augest
Wear a Sardonyx or for the
no conjugal felicity.
The Augest-born without this
stone
Is said to live unloved
and alone.

september
A maiden born when Autumn
leaves
Are rustling in september's
breeze,
A Sapphire on her brow
should bind,
It will cure diseases of the
mind.

October
October's child is born for
woe,
And life's vicissitudes must
know;
But lay an opal on her
breast,
And hope will lull those woes
to rest.

November
Who first comes to this world
below
With drear november's fog
and snow
Should prize the Topaz' amber
hue-
Emblem of friends and lovers
true.

December
If cold December gave you
birth,
The month of snow and ice
and mirth,
Plce on your hand a Turquoise
blue,
Success will bless whatever you
do.
