  1. (continued from previous page)
    If death was a thing money could buy
    The rich would live and the poor would die.
    As straight as a furrow.
    A green Xmas makes a red church-yard.
    As firm as the rock of Cashel.
    Christen your own child first.
    Beware of the man with the horse and new saddle.
    If sawdust isn't timber sausages are not meat.
    The waggon that bears most groans most.
