When the guest is in most favour he will do well to quit, [177]

When the head aches all the limbs ache, [391]

When the head is sick the whole body is sick, [299]

When the helm is gone the ship will soon be wrecked, [391]

When the hen has laid an egg she cackles, [152]

When the host smiles most blandly he has an eye to the guest’s purse, [393]

When the husband earns well the wife spins well, [298]

When the iron is hot, then is the time to strike, [243]

When the jest is at its best, ’twill be well to let it rest, [178]

When the lion is dead the hares jump upon his carcase, [122]
