"Collection of Scotch Proverbs"


The grace of God is geir enough.
Thou shouldst not tell thy foe when thy foot sleeps.
The greatest Clerks are not the wisest men.
There belongs mair to a bed nor four bare leggs.
They had never an ill day, that had a good evening.
There is meikle hid meat in a Goose eye.
Take a man by his word, and a Cow by her horn.
The shots overgoes the old swine.
Touch me not on the fair heel.
The Malt is above the Meal.
There is a dog in the well.
Thy Thumb is under my Belt.
The goose-pan is above the roast.
The next time ye dance, wit whom ye take by the hand.

U.
Use your friend as ye would have him.
Unskilfull mediciners, and horse-marshels slayes, both man and beast.
Use makes perfectnesse.

W.
Well done, soon done.
Wonder lasts but nine nights in a Town.
We have a craw to pluck.
Whatrax my Jo, I ken your coptan.
Wrang hes no warrand.
Wont beguil'd the Lady.
Wit in a poor mans head, and mosse in a mountain, avails nothing.
Weil is that weil does.
Well good-mother-daughter.
Whatrax of the seed, where the frendship dow not.
Wood in wildernesse, & strength in a fool.
