Brag is a good Dog, but Holdfast is a better; The Belly has no Ears; [woodcut: mouse by house perhaps made from candle with snuffer]

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

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

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

A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last

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

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

The Traceys have always the Wind in their Faces; To cut large Thongs out of another Man’s Leather; Too much of one Thing is good for nothing

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

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

Near is my Shirt, but Nearer is my Skin.

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