A Mach and a Horshoe are both alike. Airly crooks the Tree that good Lammock should be. An ounce of mother-wit, is worth a pound of clergie. An inch of a nag is worth a span of an aver. A good word is as soon said as an ill. A spoon full of skytter spills a pot full of skins. B. Better give nor take. Better lang little, then soon right nought. Better hand loose, nor bound to an ill baikine. Better late thrive then never. Buy when I bid you. Better sit idle then work for nought. Better learn by your neighbors skaith nor by your own. |
