It is hard to fling at the brod, or kick at the prick. Ilk man mend ane, and all will be mendit. It is a fairy collop that is tane off a Capon. Ill bairns are best heard at home. It is ill to waken sleeping dogs. Ill herds makes fat wolfes.
What is empaling or sawing men alive, tearing off the flesh piecemeal with iron pincers, or broiling the flesh with candles, collop fashion, or squeezing heads flat in a vice, and all the most shocking devices which ever were upon earth, compared with one of these? Mere pastime!

Who can do him a red deer collop, except Sally herself, as I can? Come home, dear, at once, and I will do you one; for you never ate a morsel of supper, with all the people you had to attend upon."
