Three holidays[51] of a landless man[52]: visiting in the house of a blacksmith, visiting in the house of a carpenter, buying without bonds. [51] Or, perhaps, 'fairs, foregatherings.' [52] Or 'vagrant.' 75. Three slender things that best support the world: the slender stream of milk from the cow's dug into the pail, the slender blade of green corn upon the ground, the slender thread over the hand of a skilled woman. 76. Three hands that are best in the world: the hand of a good carpenter, the hand of a skilled woman, the hand of a good smith. 77. Three things which justice demands: judgment, measure, conscience. 78.

Three rude ones of the world: a youngster mocking an old man, a healthy person mocking an invalid, a wise man mocking a fool. 83. Three deaf ones of the world: warning to a doomed man, mocking[57] a beggar, keeping a loose woman from lust. [57] 'pitying,' L. 84. Three fair things that hide ugliness: good manners in the ill-favoured, skill in a serf, wisdom in the misshapen. 85. Three ugly things that hide fairness: a sweet-lowing cow without milk, a fine horse without speed, a fine person without substance. 86. Three sparks that kindle love: a face, demeanour, speech. 87. Three deposits with usufruct: depositing a woman, a horse, salt. 88. Three glories of a gathering: a beautiful wife, a good horse, a swift hound. 89. Three accomplishments of Ireland: a wit
