Smith took it, and for the next ten

LOSE LITERAL APPLICATION
Three Old Portuguese Proverbs Which,

There are three very old Portu-

will. at least. have lost their literal
application.
They are the following: "Quereis
que vos sirva. bonn Rey. daime. de que

befits the king to be liberal. for he
is sure OF. never falling into poverty.")
There do not appear to be SO large a
number Of proverbs in the Portuguese
language. which may be difierentially
compared with English ones. as there
are in the French. Spanish. German
and some other languages.
There are many which are practi-
cally identical with the English. while
there are naturally others having NO
