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

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

Curs’d Cows have short Horns; Much falls between the Cup and the Lip. No longer pipe no longer dance.

Fast bind, fast find; Like Father like Son.

Nothing venture, nothing have; Virtue which parleys is near a Surrender.

Good Wine needs no Bush; Kissing goes by Favour; A Lark is better than a Kite

Many Words will not fill a Bushel; The younger Brother the better Gentleman.

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]

A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last

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

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.

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

Give him a Rowland for his Oliver; Penny Wise, and Pound Foolish; He that Reckons without his Host must reckon again.

When the Steed’s stolen, shut the Stable Door.

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

One Man had better steal a Horse than another look over the Hedge; [woodcut: highayman with hat and cape leads a horse]
