The poor man eats at double cost, [288]

The poor man has his crop destroyed by hail every year, [217]

The poor man seeks for food, the rich man for appetite, [368]

The poor man wants much, the miser everything, [353]

The poor man’s corn always grows thin, [368]

The poor must dance as the rich pipe, [140]

The poor-houses are filled with the honestest people, [211]

The pope and a peasant know more than the pope alone, [125]

The pope eats peasants, gulps gentlemen, and voids monks, [139]

The pot boils best on your own hearth, [365]
