700.—Byland Abbey, Yorkshire.

An old Dog will learn no Tricks; If you trust before you try, You may repent before you die.

’Tis too late to spare when all is spent; One Swallow does not make Summer.

A Rolling Stone gathers no Moss; It is good to make Hay while the Sun shines.

A Burnt Child dreads the Fire

Hungry Dogs will eat dirty Pudding; He that would live at Peace and Rest, Must hear and see, and say the Best.

Fast bind, fast find; Like Father like Son.

Need makes the old Wife trot; [woodcut: barefoot old woman hitches up skirts to cross a stream]

Proferred Service stinks; The Receiver is as bad as the Thief; Reckon not your Chickens before they are hatched.

It’s neither Rhime nor Reason; What is got over the Devil’s Back will be spent under his Belly.

One good Turn deserves another; He steals a Goose, and gives the Giblets in Alms.

Harm watch, Harm catch; It is a good Horse that never stumbles.

Save a Thief from Hanging, and he’ll cut your Throat; Jack will never make a Gentleman.

Give a Man Luck and throw him into the Sea; Money makes the Mare to go; Much falls between the Cup and the Lip.

Little Pitchers have great Ears; Many talk of Robin Hood who never shot in his Bow.

He who has a mind to beat a Dog will easily find a Stick; Naught is never in Danger; Faint Heart never won fair Lady.

As you brew so you shall bake; Every bean has its Black; it is an ill wind that blows no body good

To buy a Pig in a poke; Robin Hood’s Pennyworths; He looks one way and rows another.

Near is my Shirt, but Nearer is my Skin.
