    (continued from previous page)
    crowing hen never come to a good end.
    You are a willy if you had the tail.
    You can watch a rogue but you cant watch a liar.
    You are a smart on if you had your heels pared and the shavings in your pocket.
    From Carrickmacross to Crossmaglen there are more rogues than honest men.
    Keady on your cart and Armagh on your wheelbarrow.
