- (continued from previous page)He who marries many a wife
Still lives single all his life.
The priest.
'Tis under the fire, 'tis over the fire and yet it never touches the fire.
A cake in a pot.
In the wood he got it, he sat down and saw it and because he couldn't find it, home with him he brought it.
A thorn in a man's leg.
Why is bred on the top of a mountain like a race-horse?
Because it is high-bred.
What enlightens the world though dark itself?
Ink.
Long legs, crooked thighs, small head and no eyes.
The tongs.
