460 Let never sorrow come sae near your heart. Let the horns gang with the hide. Let the morn come and the meat with it. Let the kirk stand in the kirk-yard. Let them laugh that win. 465 Let them care that come behind. Lie for him and he‘ll swear for you. Light burdens break nae banes. Like Scotsman, ay wise behind the hand. Like the cur in the crib, he*ll neither donorletdo. 470 Like's an ill mark. Like a sow playing on a trump. Like the wife that never cries for the laddie till the pot rins o'er. Lippen to me but look to yoursel. Little ken'd the less cared for. 475 Little odds between a feast and a fou wame. Loud on the loan was ne'er a good milk cow. Love's as warm amang cotters as courtiers. Love your friend and look to yoursel. M           Maidens bairns are ay well bred. 480 Mair by luck than good guiding. Mair haste the war speed, quoth the tailor to             the lang thread. Mair hamely than welcome. Make ae wrang step and down ye gae. Make a kirk and a mill o't.       485 Make the best of an ill bargain. Make your hay when the sun shines. Malice is mindfou. May bees flee not at this time of the year. Meat feeds and claith cleads, but manners make the man. 490 Meat and mass hinder nae man. Men are not to he met by inches. Miekle wad ay hae mair. Mickle may fa between the cap and the lip 495 Money makes a man flee every where.
