By labour fire is got out of a stone, [334]

By lamplight every country wench seems handsome, [70]

By night all cats are grey, [30], [92], [135], [301]

By slow degrees the bird builds his nest, [331]

By telling our woes we often assuage them, [5]

By the living we bury the dead, [334]

By the street of “By-and-by” one arrives at the house of “Never,” [241][241]

By the thread we unwind the skein, [241]

By their marks the bales are known, [72]
