It is true that all men sayes.

I have a good bow, but it is in the Castle.

It is hard to fling at the brod, or kick at the prick.

Ilk man mend ane, and all will be mendit.

It is a fairy collop that is tane off a Capon.

Ill bairns are best heard at home.

It is ill to waken sleeping dogs.

Ill herds makes fat wolfes.

It is hard to wive and thrive in a year.

It is good sleeping in a heal skin.

It is not tint that is done to friends.

It is ill to draw a strea before an old Cat.

It is a pain both to pay and pray.

It is good fishing in drumbling waters.

It is little of God's might, to make a poor man a Knight.
