6 Death and marriage make term day Death defies the doctors that Delays are dangerous Do well and dread nae shame Do well and have well Do what ye ought and come what will Do the likeliest and hope the best Do as the lasses do, say no, and take it Double drinks are good for drouth Double charges rive cannons Draft's good enough for swine Drink little that ye may drink lang Dree out the inch when ye have thol'd the span

E EAT well's drink well's brother Eating and drinking wants but a beginning Either live or die with honour Evening oats are good morning fother Enough's as good's a feast Every ane creeshes the fat sow's arse Every ane ken best where his ain shoe nips him Every craw thinks its ain bird whitest Every man wears his belt his ain gait Every man's tale is good till another's be tauld Every man has his ain draff pock Experience teaches fools F FAINT heart never won a fair lady Fair heights make fools fain Fair words winna gar the pot play Fancy kills and cures Fancy Flees before the wind Far away fools have fair feathers Feckless fouk are aye fain of ane anither Fiddler's dogs, and flesh ffies, come to feasts unca'd Fine feathers make fine birds
