To give an egg to get an ox, [16], [313]

To give change out for his coin, [55]

To give counsel to a fool is like throwing water on a goose, [348]

To give court holy-water, [16]

To give is honour, to beg is dishonour, [274]

To give is honour, to lose is grief, [217]

To give one the sack, [329]

To give quickly is to give doubly, [135]

To give tardily is to refuse, [58], [295]

To go for wool and come back shorn, [225]
