   (continued from previous page)

   A closed mouth and a wise head.
   Be afraid and there is no danger of you.
   The grip of a drowning man.
   People met but the hills or mountains do not meet.
   Tell me your company and I will tell you who you are.
   It is only a wisp instead of a brush.
   The deed will praise itself.
   Hang your griddle your bread is baked.
   The rale wheat from the middle of a stack.
   Your goose is cooked.

   4 "Proverbs" As dry as a gurnet. As long as a wet week. As deaf as a leather -ear. As high as Mount Callan. As green as grass. As crooked as a ram's horn. As long as a late- breakfast. As poor as a church mouse.
