It hath been likewise told me frequently, that old decrepit men upon the brinks of Charon's banks do usher their decease with a disclosure all at ease, to those that are desirous of such informations, of the determinate and assured truth of future accidents and contingencies. I remember also that Aristophanes, in a certain comedy of his, calleth the old folks Sibyls, Eith o geron Zibullia.
A mirk mirrour is a mans mind. A full heart lied never. A good Cow may have an ill Calf. A dum man holds all. A Cock is crouse upon his own midding. A greedy man God hates. As fair fights Wrans as Cranes. A skade mans head is soon broke. A yeeld Sow was never good to gryses. An unhappy mans Cairt is eith to tumble. As meikle upwith, as meikle downwith. A new Bissom sweeps clean.

It is eith till, that the awn self will. It is good mows that fills the wemb. It is na time to stoup when the head is off. It is fair in the hall, when beards wag all. It will come in an hour, that will not come in a year. If thou do no ill, do no ill like. If he steal not my kail, break not my dike. If he may spend meikle, put the more to the fire.
"Yet you could still have eno' of the tall yeoman and the stout retainer about you to try for this bauble, and to break half a dozen thick heads with your quarter-staff!" "True," said Nicholas; "you must recollect we are only, as yet, between the skin and the selle, half-trader, half-retainer. The old leaven will out, 'Eith to learn the cat to the kirn, as they say in the North.

Knowledge is eith born about. Kings are out of play. Kings and Bears oft worries their Keepers. Laith to bed, laith out of it. Like draws to like, a skabbed Horse to an old dyke. Lear young, lear fair, Little intermitting makes good friends. Little sayd is soon mended, and a little geir is soon spended. Long tarrowing takes all the thank away. Long lean wakes hameald cattell.
A teem purse makes a bleat merchant. Ane year a Nurish, seven years a Daw. Ane ill word begets another, and it were at at the Bridge at London. A Wool-seller kens a Wool-buyer. Auld men are twice bairns. All fellows, Jock and the Laird. A hasty man never wanted woe. A silly bairn is eith to lear. As good merchant tines as wins. A racklesse hussy makes mony thieves. A hungry lowse bites fair.
If I can get his cart at a Waltar, I shall lend it a put. If I may not keep geese, I shall keep gesline. It is kindly that the poke fair of the Herring. It is eich to cry yule on another man's cost; Ilk a man as he loves, let him send to the Cooks, It is eith to swim where the head is hild up. It is weil warit they have sorrow, that buyes it with their silver. If ane will not, another will.
