To be like a louse in a seam, [256]

To be like a tailor’s pattern-book, [256]

To be like the esquire of Guadalaxara, who knew nothing in the morning of what he said at night, [256]

To be like the tailor of Campillo, who worked for nothing and found thread, [256]

To be slow to give, and to refuse, are the same thing, [58], [295]

To beards with money cavaliers pay respect, [195]

To beat the dog in presence of the lion, [7]

To become rich in this world, it needs only to turn one’s back on God, [119]

To begin skinning the eel at the tail, [16]

To blow hot and cold, [57]
