- (continued from previous page)A shameless "pray" a shameless nay.
The brighter the moon shines, the more the dog howls.
No pains, no gains, leave your just when it is at its best.
Before you marry, be sure of a house within to tarry.
Four things to be afraid of- a horse's hoof, a hound's tooth a bull's horn.
Bachelor's wives and maiden's children are well trained.
Sin is sin though it be not seen.
If things were done twice all would be wise.
A apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Death, tis a sharp medicine but a cure for all diseases.
