 4 Ae hour in the morning’s worth twa in the afternoon. A fidging mare fhould be weel girded. A fcol and his money is foon parted. A fool may gi’e a wife man counfel. A friend in court’s worth a penny in purfe. A friend in reed’s a friend indeed. Aft counting keeps friends lang thegither. After a morin comes a calm. A fou man and a hungry horfe ay mak hafte hame. A fou purfe never lacks friends. A rough bane maks a fou wame. A fou wame maks a fliff back. A black hen lays a white egg. A gaun foot’s ay getting. A gien horfe fhould na be look’d i’the mouth A gude beginning has ay a gude ending. A gude cow may ha’e an ill cauf. A gude tongue ’s a fafe weapon. A gude ingle maks a roomy firefide, A gude word ’s as foon faid as an ill. A gude tale is no the waur to be twice tauld. A gude name is fooner tint than won. A green Yule maks a fat kirk-yard. A great cry and little woo, quoth the de’il when be clippet the fow.
