Examples from texts

Maria smiles, she casts her eyes to heaven, she vows that Harry knows nothing of the truth and fidelity of women; it is his sex, on the contrary, which proverbially is faithless, and which delights to play with poor female hearts.
Мария улыбается, она возводит глаза к небесам, она клянется, что Гарри просто не знает, как правдивы и верны женщины; наоборот, коварство его пола вошло в пословицу, и мужчинам нравится играть сердцами бедных женщин.

His ancestors, though originally English, were among those early colonists who were proverbially said to have become more Irish than Irishmen. — Его предки, хоть и были по происхождению англичанами, относились к тем ранним колонистам, которые, как говорится в пословице, стали большими ирландцами, чем сами ирландцы.
