- (continued from previous page)As slippery as an eel.
Beware of the honeyd words of the hypocrith.
Tis a long road that there is no turn in.
Ploug deep while sluggers sleep and you will have corn to sell and keep.
Never take the book by the cover, nor a man by his coat
Tis not worth while to halve a cherry.
It is not worth while to turn a herring when it is half eaten. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
