Better bairns greit, nor bearded men.
Better saucht with little aucht, nor care with many cow.
Better two skaiths, nor ane sorrow.
Bring a Cow to the Hall, and she will run to the byre again.
Better bow nor break.
Bear wealth, poverty will bear itself.
Better a wit cost, nor two for nought.
Better good sale, nor good Ale.
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.
Better a clout nor a hole out.
Better no ring, nor the ring of a rash.
Butter and burn-trouts gar maidens f---- the wind.
Better held out nor put out.
