Ill workers are ay good to putters
Ill will never spake well
385 Joke at leisure you kenna wha may joke yoursel
Joke and let the ja gae o'er
It came with the wind, let it gang with the water
It gangs in at the ae lug and out at the other
It is a good goose that draps ay
390 It is a good game that fills the wame
It is a good tongue that says nae ill
It is an ill wind that blaws nae body good
It is an ill cause that the lawyers think shame of
It is a mean mouse that has but ae hole
395 It is a nasty bird that files its ain nest
It is a poor kin that has neither whore nor thief in it
It is a sign of a hale heart to riſt at the rumple
It is a sair battle where all is slain
It is a silly flock where the Ewe hears the bell
400 It is a silly hen that canna scrape for ae bird
It is a tight tree that has neither knap nor gaw
It's a tint that's done to auld folk and bairns
Its but kindly that the pook sair of the herring
It is better to sup with a cutty than want a spoon
405 It is by the head that the cow gie's milk
Its come to meikle, but its no come to that
It is good mawt that comes of will
It is good gear that pleases the merchant
It is good baking beside meal
4.10 It is good sleeping in a hale skin
It is good to be out of harm's gate
It is good to be sib to siller
It is good to be good in your time, ye kenna
how lang it may last
It is hard to sit in Rome and strive with the Pope
415 It is hard to please a' parties
It is hard baith to have and want
It is ill getting breeks aff a bare arse
It is ill bringing but what's no benn
It is little shooting at corbies and clergy
420 It is kittle to waken sleeping dugs
