Then Envy, trembling with secret hatred, accompanied by his court of flatterers, backbiters, calumniators and all the human serpentry that lurk in the palaces of kings. Then came Covetousness, with his hoarders and misers, and these the fiends gave to drink of newly-molten gold. "Syne Swearness, at the second bidding, Came like a sow out of a midding:"
Better wooe over midding, nor over mosse. Better happy to court, nor good service. Blaw the wind nere so saft, it will lowen at the last. Better be happy nor wise. Binde fast, finde fast. Better plays a full wemb nor a new coat. Better say, Here it is, nor, Here it was. Better auld debts nor auld sairs. Bourd not with Bawty, fear lest he bite ye. Better a fowl in hand nor twa flying.
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.
