It is good baking besides meal. It is a good Goose that drops ay. It is not the habit that makes the Monck. It is not good to want, and to have. It hes neither ----, nor elbow. I shall sit on his skirt. It is a bare Moor that he goes over, and gets not a Cow. I shall hold his Nose to the Grindstone. It goes as meiklle in his heart, as in his heel. It goes in at one ear, and out at the other. It is na mair pitty to see a Woman greit, nor to see a Goose go barefoot. It is well said, but who will bell the Cat? It is short while seen the louse boore the langelt. I have a sliddery Eel by the tail. It is as meet as a Sow to bear a Saddle. |
