He'll soon be a beggar that canna say nae.
He may well swim that has his head held np.
He maun be soon up that cheats the tod.
270 He made a moon-light flitting.
He may find faut that canna mend.
He may laugh that wins.
He never lies but when the holin's green.
He rides sicker that never fell.
275 He's a fool that forgets himsel.
He's gane to the dog-drave.
His horn-deaf on tbat side of the head.
He's auld and cauld, and ill to lie beside.
He's wise that's timely wary.
280 He's no sae daft as he lets on.
He's sairest dung that's paid wi' his ain wand.
He's a proud fox that winna scrape his ain hole.
He's a silly chiel that can neither do nor say.
He's well wordy of sorrow that buys it.
285 He's like a singed cat, better than he's likely.
He sleeps as dogs do when wives siſt meal.
He that blaws best let him bear the horn.
He that cheats me ance, shame fa' him; if he
cheats me twice, shame fa' me.
He that clatters to himsel dawks to a fool.
290 He that canna mak sport should mar nane.
He that does you an ill turn will ne'er forgie you.
He that deals in dirt has ay foul fingers.
He that gets forgets, but he that wants thinks on
He that has a good crop may thole some thistles
295 He that ha's meikle wad ay hae mair
He that has but ae eye maun tent that weel
He that has a meikle nose thinksilk ane speak soft
He that's ill to himsel will be good to nae body
He that lends his pot may seeth his kail in his loof
300 He that laughs at his ain joke spills the sport o't
He that lippens to bodden ploughs his land lies lee
He that lives upon hope has a slim diet
He that looks to frets, frets follow him
He that shaws his purse bribes the thief
