Better wooe over midding, nor over mosse.

Better happy to court, nor good service.

Blaw the wind nere so saft, it will lowen at the last.

Better be happy nor wise.

Binde fast, finde fast.

Better plays a full wemb nor a new coat.

Better say, Here it is, nor, Here it was.

Better auld debts nor auld sairs.

Bourd not with Bawty, fear lest he bite ye.

Better a fowl in hand nor twa flying.

Better rew sit, nor rew flie.

Better spare at the breird nor at the bottome.

Better finger off, nor ay warking.

Bind the seck ere it be full.

Better be well loved, nor ill won geir.
