- (continued from previous page)No one in this district remembers straw-boys at weddings.

Don't buy a pig in a sack.
Don't sell your hen on a wet day.
An hour's sleep before twelve o'clock is better than two after it.
It is hard to take bricks of a bare hearth stone.
A man without money goes light through the fair.

Wet July farewell flax.
It's Irish spirit to have revenge.
Put a bit away for a rainy day.(continues on next page) - Collector
