Ye may puind for debt, but not for unkindnesse. Ye learn your Father to get bairns. Ye will break your crag as soon as your fast in his house. Ye ride a bootlesse errand. Ye may not sit in Rome, and strive with the Pope. Ye seek grace at a gracelesse face. Ye strive against the stream. Ye drive a Snail to Rome. Youth never casts for peril. Ye seek hot water under cold ice.
