398.—Norwich Castle

2103.—Herstmonceaux Castle.

The more Haste the worse Speed; When the Sky falls we shall catch Larks.

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

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]

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

I talk of Chalk and you of Cheese; Charity begins at Home; Cut your Coat according to your Cloth; What can’t be cur’d must be endur’d.

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

After sweet Meat comes sour Sauce; [woodcut of stout man, seated, with bandaged foot]

One scabbed Sheep marrs a whole Flock; Tread on a Worm and it will turn.

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

A Fool’s Bolt is soon shot; Birds of a Feather flock together; Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire.

Well begun is half ended; All is well that ends well.

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

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

Better play at small Game than stand out; Give him a Rowland for his Oliver.

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

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