Tak the bit and the buffet wi't.
"What tho' sometimes, in angry mood,
When she puts on her barlik hood,
Her dialect seems rough and rude,
Let's ne'er be flee't,
But tak our bit, when it is gude,
An' buffet wi't."
—Allan Ramsay.
Bear patiently taunts and ill usage, if advantages come with them.
Tak the readiest to serve the needfu'ist.
Tak the will for the deed.
Tak time ere time be tint.
"Tak tyme, in tyme, or tyme be tint,
For tyme will not remain."
—Cherrie and the Slae.
