wn his head, and seemingly much afraid lest the governor
should put his threat into execution,--for the knave knew very well how
to play his part.

But let us leave Sancho in his passion; peace be with him!

The devil will never give you a high nose if a flat nose
will serve your turn.

All is not gold that glitters.

I am fully convinced that judges and governors are, or ought
to be, made of brass, so as that they may not feel the
importunity of people of business, who expect to be heard
and despatched at all hours and at all seasons, come what
will, attending only to their own affairs; and if the poor
devil of a judge does not hear and despatch them, either
because it is not in his power, or it happens to be an
unseasonable time for giving audience, then they grumble and
backbite, gnaw him to the very bones, and even bespatter his
whole generation. Ignorant man of business! foolish man of
business! be not in such a violent hurry; wait for the
proper season and conjuncture, and come not at meals and
sleeping-time; for judges are made of flesh and blood, and
must give to nature that which nature requires.

Good physicians deserve palms and laurels.

Either we are, or we are not.

Walls have ears.

Let us all live and eat together in harmony and good
friendship.

When God sends the morning, the light shines upon all.

Make yourselves honey, and the flies will devour you.

Your idle and lazy people in a commonwealth are like drones
in a beehive, which only devour the honey the laboring bees
gather.

into earnest, and the biters are bit.

They who expect snacks should be modest, and take cheerfully
whatever is given them, and not haggle with the winners;
unless they know them to be sharpers, and their gains
unfairly gotten.

THE GOVERNOR'S ROUND OF INSPECTION.

After traversing a few streets, they heard the clashing of swords, and,
hastening to the place, they found two men fighting. On seeing the
officers coming they desisted, and one of them said, "Help, in the name
of Heaven and the king! Are people to be attacked here, and robbed in
the open streets?"

"Hold, honest man," quoth Sancho, "and tell me what is the occasion of
this fray; for I am the governor."

His antagonist, interposing, said, "My lord governor, I will briefly
relate the matter:--Your honor must know th
