As the Sow fills the Draff fowres.
A good asker should have a good nay-say.
A good ruser was never a good rider.
A Lyar should have a good memory.
Ane Begger is wae, another by the gate gae.
A wight man never wanted a weapon.
A half-penny Cat may look to the King.
As fair greits the bairn that is dung after noon, as he that is dung
before noon.
An oleit Mother makes a fweir Daughter.
A borrowed len should come laughing ahme.
As long runs the Fox as he hath feet.
A proud heart in a poor breast, has meikle dolour to dree.
A teem purse makes a bleat merchant.
Ane year a Nurish, seven years a Daw.
Ane ill word begets another, and it were at at the Bridge at _London_.
A Wool-seller kens a Wool-buyer.
Auld men are twice bairns.
All fellows, Jock and the Laird.
A hasty man never wanted woe.
A silly bairn is eith to lear.
As good merchant tines as wins.
A racklesse hussy makes mony thieves.
A hungry lowse bites fair.
Anes pay it never crave it.
A fools bolt is soon shot.
Anes wood, never wise, ay the worse.
As the Carle riches he wretches.
