An old Dog will learn no Tricks; If you trust before you try, You may repent before you die.
After sweet Meat comes sour Sauce; [woodcut of stout man, seated, with bandaged foot]
Nothing venture, nothing have; Virtue which parleys is near a Surrender.
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
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 Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last
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]
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.
It’s neither Rhime nor Reason; What is got over the Devil’s Back will be spent under his Belly.
