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

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

Near is my Shirt, but Nearer is my Skin.

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

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

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

He makes a Rod for his own Breech.

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

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

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

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