P
Reading edition
Pay him hame in his ain coin.—Penny wise and pound foolish.
Pennyless sauls may pine in purgatory.
Pleying at law’s like fighting through a whin buss, the harder the
blows the sairer the scar.
Poortith parts gude company.—Possession is eleven points o’ the law.
Pride ne’er leaves its master till he get a fa’.
Poets and painters hae liberty to lie.
Put a coward to his metal and he’ll fight the deil.
Put your hand nae farther than your sleeve will reach.
Put your hand i’ the creel, and tak out an adder or an eel.
