All goes down Gutter-lane; As Wise as a Man of Gotham; As good as George of Green; [woodcut: stout man drinks from mug, holds saussage with a fork]
Nothing venture, nothing have; Virtue which parleys is near a Surrender.
To buy a Pig in a poke; Robin Hood’s Pennyworths; He looks one way and rows another.
When the Steed’s stolen, shut the Stable Door.
