He must be a clever host that would take the devil into his hostelry, [355]

He must be ill-favoured who scares the devil, [355]

He must be pure who would blame another, [373]

He must cry loud who would scare the devil, [373]

He must gape wide who would gape against an oven, [327]

He must have clean fingers who would blow another’s nose, [355]

He must have crept out of hell while the devil was asleep, [326]

He must have iron fingers who would flay the devil, [373]

He must have keen eyes that would know a maid at sight, [145]

He must have plenty of butter who would stop everybody’s mouth, [373]
