Laugh at leifure, ye may greet e,er night. Learn young, learn fair. Letna the plough ftand to kill a moufe. Let a' trades live, quoth the wife when fhe burnt her befom. Let him hand the that aught the bairn. Let him cool in the skin he bet in. Let ilka fheep hang by its ain fhank. Let the horns gang wi the hide. Let the morn come and the meat wit. Like praws to like, as an auld horfe to a feal dike. Like Scotsmen, ay wife ahint the hand. Like hens, ye rin ay to the tap o‘ the heap, Like the cat, fain fifh wad ye cat, but ye are laith to weet your feet. Lippen to me, but look 'o yourfel. Little kend lefs cared for. Little faid's foon mended, Little wit i' the head maks muckle travel to the feet. Little may an auld nag do that manna nigher. Little dogs hae lang tails, Live upon love, as lavracks do on leeks, Loud on the loan was ne'er a gude milk cow. Love and light winna hide Love‘s as warm amang cotters as courtiers.
