The month often utters what the head must answer for, [390]

The mouth that says yes, says no, [205], [269]

The mule long keeps a kick in reserve for its master, [33]

The myrtle is always a myrtle, though it be among nettles, [102]

The nearer the bone the sweeter the flesh, [155], [328]

The nearer the church the farther from God, [46], [155]

The nearer the inn, the longer the road, [155]

The nearer the minster the later to mass, [46]

The nearest boor is the nearest kinsman when the calf lies in the ditch, [334]
