Hethat a task is easy when assistance is given

He needs a lang-shanket spoon that sups kail wi' the deil

”He that has to do icked and false uard”--_Kelly_

He ne'er tint a cow that grat for a groat

Literally, he never lost a coho cried for the loss of a groat

He never lies but when the holly's green

The holly being an evergreen, that is to say, a person never speaks truth at all

He picked it up at his ain hand, as the cow learned flinging

He puts his h a person takes plenty of food and nourishment, his appearance belies it

He puts in a bad purse that puts in his pechan

He reads his sin in his punishment

Henry Clark never slew a man till he come at him
