3 A's no tint that's in hazard A' Stewart's are no sib to the king A's well that ends well A' things are good untried A man canna bear a' his kin on his back A man at five may be a fool at fifteen A man may be kind and gie little o' his gear A man's well or wae, as he think himself sae A misty morning may be a clear day A mouthfu' o' meat may be a townfu' o' shame A muffled cat was ne'er a good hunter An auld mason makes a good barrow-man An auld sack craves much clouting An auld pock is aye skailing An auld dog bites sicker An ill shearer never got a good hook An ill cow may have a good calf An ill plea should be well pled An ill turn is soon done An ill servant ne'er prov'd a good master Ane never tines by doing good Anes paid never crav'd Anes a whore and aye a whore Ane may bind a sack before it be fu' Ane is no sae soon heal'd as hurt Ane will gar a thousand lie A new besom sweeps clean A noil of an honest man is enough A ragged colt may prove a good gelding A rowing stane gather nae fog As broken a ship has come to land As brisk as bottled ale As lang lives the merry man as the sad As fair fight wrens as cranes As tired as a tike is of lang kail As the sow fills the draff sours As the old cock craws the young one learns As the fool thinks the bell clinks
