Ane ill word begets another, and it were at at the Bridge at _London_.
A Wool-seller kens a Wool-buyer. Auld men are twice bairns. All fellows, Jock and the Laird. A hasty man never wanted woe. A silly bairn is eith to lear. As good merchant tines as wins. A racklesse hussy makes mony thieves. A hungry lowse bites fair. Anes pay it never crave it. A fools bolt is soon shot. Anes wood, never wise, ay the worse. As the Carle riches he wretches. An ill life, an ill end. A Skabbed Horse is good enough for a skald Squire. |
