Fowk that comes unbidden, sits unsert. People who come uninvited, sit unserved . Ma brakes haes went. My brakes have gone. Auld men dees an bairns suin forgits .
Old men die and children soon forget.
Weemen kens that fine. Women know that well. Whan the kye comes hame. When the cows come home. As the days lenthens the cauld strenthens .
