Observing the Barometer

It is interesting to note that only a few of the verses mention the glass (barometer). My research, using The Popular Encyclopedia (published about 1896, over one hundred years ago) shows that the barometer was invented in 1645 as a three foot (900mm) glass tube. The aneroid barometer was invented in 1844. For many years these instruments remained the province of the scientists. 

When the glass falls low

Stand by for a blow;

When it slowly rises high

All the light sails you may fly. When the glass falls low

Prepare for a blow;

When it slowly rises high,

Lofty canvas you may fly.

Long foretold, long last

Short notice, soon past,

Quick rise after low,

Sure sign of stronger blow. Quick rise arter low

Indicates a stronger blow;

Long foretold, long last,

Short notice, soon past 

Fast rise after low,

Foretells a stronger blow. At sea with low and falling glass

Soundly sleeps a careless ass,

Only when it's high and rising

Truly rests a careful wise one.
