He makes a Rod for his own Breech.

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

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

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

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

What is bred in the Bone will never be out of the Flesh; One Bird in the Hand is worth two in the Bush; A Cat may look upon a king.

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

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

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

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

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]

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

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

Cheerful full-page vintage colour border
