He is a proud Tod that will not scrape his own Hole.
He is wise, when he is well can had him sa. He is poor that God Hates. He is wise, that is ware in time. He is wise who can make a friend of a foe. Hair, and hair, makes the Carles head bare. Hear all parties. He that is red for windlestraws, should not sleep in lees. He that is fraid of a far--should never hear thunder. He is not the fool that the fool is, but he that with the fool deals. He loves me for little that hates me for nought. He that hes twa huirds, is able to get the third. He is a fairy beggar that may not goe by ane mans door. Hall-binks are fliddery. He is not the best Wright that hews the maniest speals. |
