Excerpt from Select Proverbs of All Nations: Illustrated With Notes and Comments; To Which Is Added, a Summary of Ancient Pastimes, Holidays, and Customs; With an Analysis of the Wisdom of the Ancients, and of the Fathers of the Church; The Whole Arranged on a New Plan
The Spanish proverbs are celebrated for their pith and humour, but they are more characteristic of the age of cervantes and gil blas than of the modern Spaniards. They are replete with humour and good-nature - and, like those of Italy, teem with jokes on the fat monks, - with a sprinkling of satire on kings and governments, of which, formerly, the Spaniards entertained a lively jealousy.
