Robert Christy, comp. Proverbs, Maxims and Phrases of All Ages.

Ale
Ale sellers should na be tale tellers.
1
Ale that would make a cat to speak.
2
Good ale is meat, drink and cloth.
3
He mends like sour ale in summer.
4
He that buys land buys many stones,
He that buys flesh buys many bones.
He that buys eggs buys many shells,
But he that buys good ale buys nothing else.
