Part 71 (2/2)

Love and lairdshi+p's like nae onist

Love and light winna hide

Love has nae lack, be the dame e'er sae black

Love has nae law

Love is as waray on shairney brae, As weel's in birken shaw; And love will lowe in cottage low, As weel's in lofty ha'”--_Tannahill_

Love ower het soon cools

Love your friend and look to yoursel

[Illustration]

Maidens should be mild and meek, quick to hear, and slow to speak

Maidens should be mim till they're married, and then they may burn kirks

”Spoken often, by way of reflection, e say that such a one is a good-huirl, as if you would say, 'Observe how she'll prove when she is married'”--_Kelly_

Maidens' tochers and ministers' stipends are aye less than ca'd

Maidens want naething but a ude guiding

That is, a person has been successful by mere force of circumstances, and by no particular merit of his own

Mair hamely than welcome

”Mair haste the waur speed,” quo' the tailor to the lang thread

Mair nice than wise

Mair pride than pith

Mair than enough is ower muckle

Mair than the deil wear a black manteel
