The Epistle to the Reader.  
Gentle reader.  
MY purpose is not here professedly to preface, and discourse unto thee either. 1. What a Proverb is, 
a Paroemia est celebre dictum scita quapiam novitate insigne. Erasm.  Or 2. What be the properties thereof, 
b Vt celebratum sit, vulgoquejactatum, ut passim per ora hominum obambulet, a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. Adagium quasi circumagium. Varro.  Or 3. How it differs from other speech of near affinity thereunto, 
c A Sententiis, Fabulis, Apophthegmat. viz brevitate, sententia, figura—  Or 4. What Commendation is worthily given to Proverbs 
d Inter bonos autores ut quisque fuit eruditissimus, eloquentissimusque, ita quamplurimum adagiorum suis libris aspersit. Quid magno illo Platone (ne dicam divino) 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉? Aristoteles sicis disputationibus paroemias crebras ceu gemmulas intertexuit.  for their  
1. Dignity, divers learned and famous men having written whole volumes of them, as Aristotle, Chrysippus, Cleanthes, Plutarch, Theophrastus, Suidas Plato, King Solomon the gravest senators 
e Romani principes non existimaverunt inferius esse majestate Imperiali ut magnis de rebus consulti, proverbio responderent. Divus Hieronymus, Evangelicam sententiam Adagii vulgati testimonio confirmat. Ne Paulus quidem ipse, dedignatur locis aliquot, Proverbiorum uti testimoniis. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. Apollonii ad Euph. , the greatest Emperors, the inspired penmen of sacred Oracles, and our most blessed Saviour himself choosing, and using them, upon all incidental occasions.  
2. Antiquity no kind of learning, appearing more ancient. 
f In his ceu symbolis tota ferme priscorum Philosophia continebatur, proinde pro foribus templorum veluti digna Diis inscribebantur: passimque columnis ac marmoribus insculpta visebantur, tanquam immortali digna memoria.   
3. Utility, consisting especially in their helpe-fulnesse.  
Unto 1. Philosophy 
g Aristoteles apud Synes. existimat nihil aliud esse paroemias, quam reliquias priscae illius philosophiae, maximis rerum humanarum cladibus extinctae, subesse velut igniculos quosdam vetustae sapientiae, ideoque pressius ac penitius inspiciendas-his enim comprehendi quae Philosophiae principes tot voluminibus tradiderunt.  being relics and fragments thereof, preserved hitherto for their 

brevity 
h Adeo quod in liris intercidit, quod titulis, quod colossis quod marmoribus servari non potuit, proverbio servatur incolume.   
festivity.    
2. Oratory to persuade. 
i 
Ipsi etiam philosophi passim suas rationes proverbiis fulciunt. Quid quaeso probabilius quam quod nemo non dicit? quid verisimilius quam id quod tot aetatum, tot nationum consensus, & v●lut idem suffragium comprobavit? Inest nimirum in his paroemiis nativa quaedam & genuina vis veritatis. Deinde fit, nescio quo pacto, ut sententia proverbio quasi vibrata, feriat acrius auditoris animum & aculeos quosdam cogitationum relinqueatinfixos. Eras.  
Aristoteles ipse in Rhetorices praeceptis paroemias inter testimonia connumerat, sunt enim quodammodo vel potentiora etiam, quod non causis accommodata, sed liberis odio & gratia mentibus, ideo tantum dicta factaque, quia aut honestissima, aut verissima, videantur. Fabius.    
3. Ornament, and beautifing of speeck. 
k Si scite & in loco intertexantur adagia, futurum est ut sermo totus, & antiquitatis ceu stellulis quibusdam luceat, & figurarum arrideat coloribus, & sententiarum niteat gemmulis, & festivitatis, cupediis blandiatur: denique novitate excitet, brevitate d●lectet, autoritate persuadeat. Erams.   
4. Understanding of the best Authors. 
Quantum autem gratiam habeant, arguti, concinni, & breves aphorismi de moribus, & vita juxta decori normam instituenda, nemo non videt. Grynae.  
l Haec enim multum offundunt tonebrarum si ignorentur, at rursum lucis plurimum adferunt si fuerint intellecta: fit enim nonnunquam ut scriptor tacit ad proverbium alludat, quod si nos fugerit, etiamsi videbitur intellecta sententia, tamen magna pars voluptatis aberit, ignorata paroemia.— profuturam ejus lectionem non modo ad linguarum, & philosophiae cognitionem, fed etiam ad vitam recte instituendam, & ad legendos cum fructu, optimos quosque authores.   
4. Difficulty, to use Proverbs skilfully, seasonably, and discreetly, 
m Siquidem ut non medio●ris est artificii gemmulam scite includ●re annulo, & aurum purpurae intertexere: ita non est, mihi crede, cujusvis paroemiam apt, decenterque orationi inserere. In hujusmodi quemadmodum & in musicâ, nisi summum praestes artificem, ridiculu● fis, & aut laudem eximiam, aut risum auferas oportet.  Or 5. for the Accommodation of them occasionally how we must apply and use them, viz. not as meat, but only as sauce, 
n Non ad satietatem, sed ad gratiam— nimis crebriter non uteremur, densitas enim earum obstat invicem quo minus ●luceant.  as jewels not fit for to wear every where, in any part of our bodies, but in our ears, about our necks, etc. in fit places, seasonable times, not set too thick, for omne nimium 
o Gratiam a●tit quicquid au● immodicum est, aut intempestivum: est enim optimarum rerum si minus satietas, certe modus quidam.  〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 etc.  
I say, my purpose is not (good Reader) herein to wrong thee so fare, nor famous ERASMUS, 
p 
Si omne tuli● punctum qui miscuit utile dulci, omne profecto punctum in Philologiae comitiis, Diis hominibusque plandentibus, Phoenix ille Germaniae Des- Erasmus Roterod. editis saepeque locupletatis Adagiorum Chiliadibus, tulit. Grynae.  
Vir ille extra omnem ingenii aleam positus, multorum annorum vigiliis, judicio, delectuque rerum singulari adhibito— praedicando ad omnem posteritatem exemplo.   our worthy 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, as to light thee, with my rush (or candle of thirty to the pound) after his so bright a torch, 
q Hoc 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 viri incomparabilis beneficium— Grynaeus— in his Hesperidum hortis— certe cum Iliadem illam leporum lego quae paroemiae vocantur, nunc logothecam Minerva, mihi videre videor; nunc Mercur●i Salinum quem logium appellant, arte eximia fabrefactum, & in qus tamen ipsomateria cum opificio certet.  but for thy learning and fuller instruction herein, I refer thee to Himself in the Prolegomena to that right golden-worke of his Chiliads? 
Nunc Pithûs delicias & condimenta, vel Suadae medullam, interdum visendam quandam, copiosamque supellectilem longo intervallo promptam, in taberna amplissima expositam, praedivitis cujusdam institoris, eloquentiae ordine descriptam digestamque decentissime. Pigmenta atque lenocinia quibus artifices dicendi, & qui Logodaedali dicuntur, scripta quondam sua vendibiliora reddunt. Budaeus.  I only present thee here with a Sylloge, or Collection of English Proverbs, marshaled, ranked, and digested under the Heads of his latin Adages, paralleled with them, and sorted together (as well as I could) all along this work. 
s In quo proverbia quae veluti consimilis monetae, confiniaque videbantur, in suam quaeque tribum digessimus.- nec quemadmodum Midae in aurum it●dem nobis quicquid forte contigissemus, protinus in Adagium verti. Er.   
For let me tell thee, that they indeed are not, nor can be all exactly paralleled to each other all along every head, there being  
1. Sometimes many English for one latin, and sometimes again many Latin for one English: none of which perhaps will aptly answer, or agree to the Latin sigillatim in special, or proverbiatim one by one, be expressive each to other: though in general & capitatim they do genuinely, truly and naturally fall and challenge place, under one and the same Head.  
2. Some Proverbs may be applied and used to divers and sundry senses, and significations, and so are referred to many and several heads, even by ERASMUS himself; as Pertusam Dolium to 1. obliviosum. 2. profusum. 3. Avarum. 4. futilem. 5. Ingratum. A riven dish to 1. forgetful. 2. prodigal. 3. Covetous. 4. blabbing. 5. unthankful. 
t Nihil vetat ●●terdum quo minus idem dictum, ad complures sensus ●●commodes. Eras.   
3. Yea to contrary significations, as if we should say of a notorious liar, now hear the lip of truth, now you'st hear an oracle.  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  
4. Under the same head are contrary proverbs placed, as under Impudicitia is chaste, etc.  
I have gleaned and gathered these Proverbs out of all writers, 
u Nullus est hodie literator tam trivialis quin si libellum ederet adagia pollicentem, dignaturus sim eum lectione: quod vere dictum sit, nullum esse librum tam malum, unde non aliquid boni possis decerpere. nolle legere eos qui tractant argumentum commune tecum, turpis est arrogantiae; dissimulare cum legeris, turpioris ambitionis; inficiari beneficium turpissimae ingratitudinis. Erasm.  I could read or meet withal, & have used herein the help of sundry scholars, and worthy friends: over and beside my own observation of many golden proverbs, dropping now and then out of vulgar mouths imâ de plebe. 
* Hoc genus scripti constat industria, hinc atque hinc decerpendi.   
These Proverbs though excellent in all men's discourse, 
x Oraculorum vim obtinent. Erasm.  useful upon all occasions to every man, yet they be chiefly intended for the use of Grammar-schooles; and therefore the 
y Ethicam, physicam, logisticen, musicam— de virtutibus, & vitiis, de vitae humanae conditionibus, de officiis.—  Industrious Schoolmaster may please, every day to cause his scholars to repeat a head or two after their Parts, and interpret them; and appose his scholars therein: or cause one boy in a form to appose and ask another. This will both teach and remind them of all learning, history, and antiquity: and be a synopsis of most useful and delightful passages in their whole life. And the benefit hereof will soon be found incredibly great, especially in the higher forms, useful in all their exercises, 
z Quae in cibo potuque necessaria esse requirunt, viz ne sit insipidus, immundus, squalidus, Grynaeus. feretque secum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, & opulentissimum liberalis, utilisque doctrinae, copiae cornu. Grin.  giving lustre, as so many orient pearls 
1 Cur enim haec ceu thesauros non numeremus? Erasm.  or rich Diamonds set in gold: for herein is couched and contracted the quintessence, marrow, breame, flower 
2 Hoc genus flosculos ac gemmas quibus eruditi scripta sua consueverunt insignire, plusculum habere gratiae— Erasm.  and pith of learning, eloquence, ●nd wisdom: our wise forefathers, and the learned in all ages, briefely ●ransmitting to us in Proverbs, the treasures of their experience, and knowledge, like gold, much in a little: as the confluence of light in one Sun, of heat in one fire. 
3 Ista non mole sed pretio aestimare oportet. Quis enim sanus non pluris faciat gemmulas, quamvis perpusillas, quam saxa quaedam ingentia? In araneo, culiceque majus est naturae miraculum, quam in Elephanto: it idem in re literaria, non-nunquam plurimum habent ingenii, quae minima sunt. Erasm.   
For the better understanding of some Latin Adages thou must repair ●o Erasmus his great volume of Adagiorum Chiliades, a book most useful in every school. 
4 Typographica 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 toties renatum. Victurus genium debet habere liber.   
The thoughts of thus publishing these, were but late, urged by the importunity of my stationer, who hath printed divers things of mine, which have found acceptance above desert 
5 Major opinion favour excepit, sive is tuus, sive operis fuit genius. Erasm. ad D. G. Mountjoy—  or expectation: and so he will needs venture upon this too, which hath lain by me, now these eight years, and been so long in fieri: now 'tis thy (if thou please) in facto: for to the Press I manu-mises it, nonum ut prematur in annum.  
My earnest request to the Schoolmaster or Reader, who shall make use hereof is, that they would please, to add, insert, altar, or more aptly place these, 
6 In quo si quis alius anteverterit, nostraque castigarit, huic multam etiam gratiam habituri sumus, tantum aberit, ut nobis injuriam esse factam arbitremur: equidem ut probo diligentiam eorum qui id conantur, ita felicitatem admiror, qui praestare quoque possint in scriptis suis, ne quid momo reliqui fiat, quod queat carpere: nostra certe m●diocritas, non istud ausit polliceri, praesertim in hoc argumenti genere. Erasm.  or other occurrent Proverbs, as they shall find occasion: thus divers have done to Erasmus himself, 
7 Quod argumenti natura sit infinita, ut nihil egerit, qui hoc agate, ne quid omnino praetermittatur.  where by that work is become so large and complete; and to this purpose vacant spaces are left under every head, that alterations might be made, additions inserted. 
8 Non minus libenter admoners nos patiemur, juxta parati vel candide docere quod scimus, vel ingenu● discere quod ignoramus. Erasm.  This favour if thou wilt vouchsafe us 
9 Palma in medio est, arripiat qui potest. Erasm.  (courteous Reader) both author and printer shall acknowledge our selves, much beholden to thee for thy pains herein.

Aemulatio.  

One beggar's woe, another by the door should go  
Men of one profession, are not one in affection.   

Figulus invidet figulo    

Aequalitas.  

They are both cocks of the kind.  
We shall lie alike all in our graves.  
We inn diversely, but end alike—  
He hath met with his match  
To be all fellows at football. Never stand upon place  
A squire of their round table.  
He that makes laws must not break laws.  
Wink and choose—  
Touch and take.  
They be well matched.  
Pay with the samed sh you borrow.  
He healeth all sores with one s●lve  
equality lives merrily.  
Neither barrel better herring.  
●ad is the best.  
The best is as good as stark naught.  
Birds of a feather flock together.  
A feather of the same wing—  
Men of the same rank.

Sponte, bonis mos est convivia adire bonorum.  
Ejusdem farinae homines.    

Aequanimitas.  

Set a good face on it.  
Patience is a plaster for all sores.  
Patience with poverty is all a poor man's remedy.  
Better half a loaf than no bread.  
Better to suffer wrong than do wrong.  
Set hard heart against hard hap.  
A man may bear till his back break.  
There is salve for every sore.  
The still sow eats all the draff.  
If I had revenged all wrong, I had not worn my skirts so long.  
Sail with the wind and tide.

My mind to me a Kingdom is.  
That suit is best that best fits me.  
One man's meat is another man's poison.  
The crow thinks her own fairest.  
Al his geese are swans.  
Every man as he loves.  
Many men many minds.  
What's a man but his mind?  
None so good, that's good to all.  
What one will not, another will.  
Every man has his humour.  
All meats to be eaten, all maids to be wed.  
Every man will have his vie.

Lame Giles has played the man.  
The cursed cow hath short horns.  
What you win i'th' shire you lose i'th' hundred.  
He broke my head, and then gave me a plaster.  
Jack will eat no fat, and Jill doth love no lean.  
Yet betwixt them both they lick the dishes clean.  
A Rowland for an Oliver.  
Rob Peter and pay Paul.  
What I lost i'th' salt fish I gained i'th' red herrings.  
The longer East the shorter West.  
As the day lengthens so the cold strengtheners.  
'Tis an ill wind blows no man profit.  
Either all or none at all.  
The pride of the rich makes the labours of the poor.  
A high building, a low foundation.  
Change is no robbery.  
Ill for the rider, good for th'abider.  
The best ground's the dirtiest.  
The better workman, the worse husband.   

Claudus optimè virum agit.

They play one tune, and dance another.  
I ask of cheese & you tell me of chalk.  
Nothing to the purpose.  
Tell me the moon's made of green cheese.  
As Tententons' steeple, was cause of Goodwin sands.  
Meddle with what you have to do.  
Which way to London? a poke full of plums.  
When Sunday comes, it will be holy day.  
An inch breaks no square.  
He comes in with his five eggs, and four be rotten.  
Draff was his errant, but drink he would have.  
Keep to the matter.  
Much ado to bring beggars to the stocks.  
I need care but for my own time.  
Mind what is more material.

Every herring must hang by th'own gill.  
Busy will have bonds.  
Speak when you are spoken to—  
Who's more busy than he that hath least to do.  
He that seeks all men to please and not himself offends.  
He keeps a stir but is no Constable.  
Where is your commission Sir.  
Charity gins at home.  
It is not mine ow● errand I come on.  
Meddle with your own business.  
It is not good to have an oar in every man's boat.  
I'll neither meddle nor make.  
Cobbler keep to your last.  
Go fiddle-medle with your old shoes.  
Let them look to it, whom it concerns.  
'Tis nothing to me what others do.  
Mind what you must live by.

Every man is either a fool, or a physician to himself.

He had need help himself first.  
Ill counsel hurts the Counsellor.  
He is no man's enemy but his own.  
We have better counsel to give then to take.  
Ill counsel mars all.  
Up the bill favour me, down the hill beware thee.  
First provide what is more useful.  
Men not borne to do themselves good.  
He is wise that's wise for himself.  
Better be head of the yeomanry than the tail of gentry.  
He that will not be counselled cannot be helped.

Try your skill in g●lt, first, and then in gold.  
None can be learned except he will be laborious.  
Will wants wit.  
I'll try every way to th'wood.  
He tries all the keys in the bunch.  
Labour in vain is loss of time.  
To aim fair.  
Learning's the labour of the brain.  
With tooth and nail.  
I do what I can.  
I'll venture a limb.  
The good will is all.  
By book and crook.

Concordia.  

Agree, for the Law is costly.  
Two are better than one.  
Of little meddling much rest.  
No such treasure as to li●e at ease.  
All shall be well, and Jack shall have jill.  
A good Jack makes a good jill.  
They are well matched.  
They hold together like burrs.  
Bear with me and I'll bear with thee.

Conjecturae.  

We may hear by th' market folks, how the market rules.  
Thought is free.  
You may see by a bit what the bread is.  
One swallow makes not summer.  
One may see day at a little hole.  
You may know the man by his manners.  
You may know the horse by his harness.  
A man may soon see what is in him.  
I know your meaning by your winking.  
One may think that dares not speak.  
You dream of a dry summer.  
A man may know by your nose what porridge you love.  
You muse, as you use.  
He casts beyond the moon.  
You guess right.  
'Tis soon sharp will be athorne.   

Leonem unguibus aestimare.  
E fimbria de texto judico.  
De gustu cognosco.  
Una hirundo non facit ver.  
E naevo cognoscere.  
Cauda de vulpe testatur.  
Ex fronte perspicere.  
E cantu cognoscitur avis  
Ex uno omnia specta.  
Viam qui nescit ad mare amnem sibi quaerit.  
Prima facie. Primo fronte.  
Cribro divinare.  
Ex ungue leonem.  
Domi conjecturam facere.  
Effoeminatorum oratio effoeminata.

Quanquam non dixeris tamen apparet a pelle.  
Crepitu probabis.  
Crimine ab uno disce omnes.  
Ut mea fert opinio.    

Conjugium.  

There belongs more to marrying then four bare legs in a bed.  
He that's needy when he's married shall be rich when he's buried.  
He that's married in haste, shall repent at leisure.   

— Vide Nuptiae.    

Conscientia.  

Every man is best known to himself.  
Every tub must stand on his own bottom.  
Every man must see by his own eyes.  
Conscience is a cut throat.  
Raw leather will stretch.  
Conscience is witness enough.  
Much in a little.  
Men will strain hard for gain.  
Fair water makes all clean.  
A good conscience fears no colours.  
A guilty conscience betrays itself.  
A conscience as large as a shipman's hose.  
Conscience was hanged long ago.  
The conscience and the eye are tender parts.   

Hic murus aheneus esto nil conscire tibi.  
Conscientia fua cuique est Deus.  
Conscientia mille testes.  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.  
Pulchrorum autumnus pulcher.  
Foelicitas unica, intus nihil strepere.  
Conscia mens recti famae mendacia ridet.  
Sorex indicio ipse perit suo.    

Consilium.  

'Tis good to fear the worst.  
Much heed doth no harm.  
He that will not be counselled can't be helped.  
Warned folks may live.  
Keep counsel first thyself.  
Good counsel does no harm.  
Two heads are better than one.  
Be sure to build on a good foundation.  
Be ruled by me.  
First try fair means before you use foul.   

Praestat Prometheum quam Epimetheum.  
Abundans cautela non nocet.  
Res sacra consultor.  
Suad●o quod ipse facturus essem.  
In orbem circumiens.

Qui habet scientiam o●nat sententiam.  
Extra mala positus admones.  
Ceram auribus adde.  
Cosae consilium.  
Animo aegrotanti medicus est oratio.  
Quo curris potius quam ad Ephebum.  
Omnia prius experiri quam armis sapientem decet.  
— Vide aliis sapere.    

Consuetudo.  

Custom is another nature.  
They can't rise early that use to rise late.   

Consuetudo est altera natura.  
Dediscit animus serò quae didicit diu.  
— Nihil assuetudine majus.    

Contemptus & vilitatis.  

He cares neither for King nor Caesar.  
Too much familiarity breeds contempt.  
Turn the buckle of your girdle behind you.  
It neither doth me good nor ill.  
As good lost as found.  
You have them as you use them.  
It comes from Needing-worth.  
If a man once fall all will tread on him.  
Go shoe your goose.  
Better clout than all out.  
Go fiddle for shives among good wives.  
I own him neither suit nor service.  
Farewell forty pence, Jack Noble is dead.  
Moonshine i'th' mustard pot.  
A goshawk beats not at a bunting.  
'Twould make a horse breaks halter.  
I care so much for it as a goose turd for the Thames.  
Lightly come lightly go.  
A short horse is soon curried.  
Robin Goodfellow was a strange man.  
Let the black sheep keep the white.  
As full of knavery as an egg of meat.  
Smal-coales.  
Leaps of apes, and treads of owls, fill the world with vermin.  
Go pill straws.  
— Catch butter flies.  
It's a bad horse that can neither whinney nor wag his tail.  
He's good for nothing.  
An unprofitable drone.  
Not worth his muck.  
As well worth it as a thief is worth a rope.  
Betwixt hawk and buzzard.  
Make a Page of your old age.  
Surfeit of a goose's quill.  
he's blind of his hearing.  
Well rhymed putour, trains and stairs.  
That's a bull Sir.  
Such a reason pissed my goose.  
'Tis an ill company where the Devil bears the banner.  
Here's the door, & there's the way.  
A moon calf, or wind-egge.  
He's a cipher among numbers.  
Neither rhyme nor reason.  
Saint George on horseback.  
Hanging-ripe.  
Without All the Cobler's nobody.  
An old babe is no child.  
Bounce Buck-ram velvet's dear.  
Go shake your ears.  
I'll not foul my fingers with him.  
A trout hamlet with four legs.  
I'll not meddle with him hot or cold.  
A rogues wardrobe is harbour for a louse.  
You'st have what the cat left i'th' malt heap.  
Proffered ware stinks.  
As much pity of him as to see a goose i'th' rain.  
A worse mends it not.  
Men are best loved furthest off.  
You must not think to eat me up without salt.  
Be as be may, is no banning.  
There's nothing but is good for something.  
A tinker's budget is full of necessary tools.  
An honest man and a good bowler.  
A rush for him that cares a straw for me.  
No meat for mowers.  
A fig for my Godson.  
Let him do his worst.  
A dog's nose is ever cold.  
Sue a beggar and get a louse.  
Not worthy to bear his books after him.  
As good music as when pigs play o'th' organs.  
Who shall put the bell about the cat's neck?  
One of the Court, but none of the Council.  
A tailor's shreds are worth the cutting.  
He looks o'er me as the Devil looked o'er Lincoln.  
Half an hour past three quarters, and ready to strike again.  
As high as three horse loaves.  
Too much of nothing but of fools and asses.  
More ado with one Jack an apes than all the bears.

Curiositas.  

One of the Court, but none of the Counsel.  
he'll find you out.  
An active man can never be idle.  
Take heed what you do: lest you hear on't.  
He that meddleth with all things may go shoe the goslings.  
He that hath many irons in the fire some will cool.  
Between two stools the tail comes to the ground.  
Put no more irons i'th' fire at once than you know how to cool.  
He that will be sifting every cloud may be smitten with a thunderbolt.  
More precise than wise.  
So good as good for nothing.  
He knows not when a thing is well.  
A right Englishman.  
Neither idle nor well occupied.  
You'd mend Magnificat.  
'Tis pity that fair weather should do any harm.  
He knows what they do in hell.  
If they do aught the whole parish must hear on't.  
Cunning is no burden.  
See for your love, buy for your money.  
Scald not your lips in other men's porridge.

Ill may the kilne call the oven burned house.  
Who more ready to call her neighbour scold than the arrantest scold i'th' parish?  
One false knave accuseth another.  
Let not one fool mock another.  
You'd find fault if you knew how.  
He that would hang his dog, giveth out first that he is mad.  
The cripple blames his neighbour for halting.  
You'd break a gap where the hedge is whole.  
It's easy to pick a hole in another man's coat, if he be disposed.  
'Tis easy to find a staff to beat a dog.  
'Tis easy to find a stone to throw at a dog.  
Every man hath his faults.  
He is liveless that is faultless.  
Men are not angels.  
No silver without his dross.

The fatal tree.  
You'll smart for it.  
If you were not my master,  
I know what I'd say.  
He'scaped a scouring.  
Not worth the naming.  
I'll cast a bone in your dung-cart.  
Notorious villains.  
To clip his wings.  
Make a difference 'twixt wheat and chaff.  
He that gains hell comes to an ill bargain.  
To spare neither great nor small.  
To break a man's head and then give him a plaster.  
Bloodsuckers.  
He lives by other losses.

You are not sure of what you lose.  
Make not sure on't till it be in your belly.  
All covet all lose.  
Penny-wise, pound foolish.  
He buys and sells and lives by th' loss.  
He has lost the kernel and leaps at the shell.  
To buy and sell and live by th' loss.  
It's better to give the fleece than the sheep.  
You may put your gains in your eye, and yet see never the worse.  
As good play for nought as work for nought.  
Both sides come to th' loss.  
He gets by that, as Dickons did by is distress.  
He that hath little shall have less.

Deformitas.  

An ugly faced fellow.   

Thersitae facies.

The sweetest wine makes the sharpest vinegar.  
A young Saint an old Devil— viz. when they apostatise, as the Turkish Janissaries—  
The finest lawn is soon stained.  
The fairest silk is soon soiled.  
It mends like sour ale in summer worse & worse  
Margery good cow gives a good meal & then kicks it down with her heel.  
To come from little good to stark naught.  
Fair in the cradle, soul in the saddle.  
Show me not the meat, but show me the man.  
Soon ripe soon rotten.  
He takes not after the father.  
Many a good cow hath a bad calf.  
Great men's sons oft are their sins.  
The older the worse, like my old shoes.  
Seldom comes the better.  
He shames the house he is come of.  
Neither good egg nor bird.  
His work thrives not.  
He that gins to steal a pin, will be hanged for a pound one day.  
As good never a whit as never the better.  
'Tis in vain to complain of them that will not mend.  
Let us mend. They go far that never turn.   

Angelicus juvenis senibus satanizat in annis.  
Corruptio optimi est pessima.  
Mandrabûli in morem res succedit.  
Ab aula in caulam.  
Ab equis ad asinos.  
Acetum filius vini.  
Praecocia non diuturna.  
Citò maturum citò putridum.  
Heroum filii noxae.  
Deterior quotidie posterior dies.  
Nec bona tam sequitur quam bona prima—  
O domus antiqua quam dispari domino dominaris!  
Benè natis turpè est malè vivere.  
Acesias medicatus est.  
Taurum tollet qui vitulum sustulerit.  
Discum quam philosophum audire malim.  
Eamus Athenas.    

Deliberandi.  

Consult with your pillow.  
Bare words are no good bargain.  
Think not better of yourself then all your neighbours do.  
Look before you leap.  
I know what I do when I drink.   

In nocte consilium.  
Prudentiae diffidentia tuta.  
Pedum visa est via.    

Deprecantis & abominantis.  

Beshrew you for your labour.  
God shield.  
Be packing sirrah!  
Arope o'th' messenger.  
I wish I may never live to see it.   

Vates secum auferat omen.  
In capras sylvestres.  
Baeon malus piscis.  
Procul absit nuncius aure.  
Tellus optem prius im● dehiscat.    

Derisio.  

hay brave Arthur Bradley!  
He jeers you finely.  
You are bought and sold like sheep in a market.  
A dry frump.  
Where the demand is a jest, the fittest answer is a scoff.  
The Lead calls the oven burned arse.  
They may wipe their nose that have it.  
His back's broad enough to bear jests.   

Omnia praeclara dicis.  
Naso suspendere.  
In eo ipso stas lapide in quo praeco praedicat.  
Postica sanna.  
Loripedem rectus derideat.  
Perfusus aceto.    

Desperatio.  

A man were better be half blind than have both his eyes out.  
Better half an egg than an empty shell.  
All the fat is in the fire.  
'Tis an ill bird that bewrays her own nest.  
He cares not whether he sink or swim.  
Never trouble yourself 'Tis past help.  
Better to hang than to hold.  
Take a halter and hang yourself.  
There is no hope for him.  
He's undone horse and man.  
To lose a man's credit is the greatest loss.  
No hope to help you.   

Praestat uni malo quam duobus.  
Nullus sum.  
Ad restim res rediir.  
Furor est post omnia perdere naulum.  
Actum est.  
Frange leves calamos, & scinde Thalia libellos.  
Suspendio deligenda arbor.  
Quid moraris emori?  
Vale atque salve.  
Tam perit quam extrema faba.  
Actum est de homine cum actum est de nomine.  
Non est ab Orco qui te reducat Orpheus.    

Deus.  

God that sendeth mouths will send meat.  
Man doth what he can, and God what he will.  
God is still in heaven.  
When God will, all winds bring rain.  
No matter what's the disease, when God is the physician.   

Nil agimus nisi sponte Dei.  
Nihil Deo impossibile quod vult.    

Difficultatis.  

Every man can't go to th' price.  
He may ill run that cannot go.  
Fair fowls have fair feathers.  
The best things are worst to come by.  
No sweet without sweat.  
Forsake not the market for the toll.  
'Tis a bone worth the picking.  
The higher the plum-tree the sweeter the plum  
Every rose groweth from prickles.  
Assoon may you get a fart of a dead man.  
He has his load.  
A light load is heavy to carry fare.  
Rome was not built all on a day.  
'Tis not so soon done, as said.  
A man must not leave his way for a little rain.  
All the craft is in the catching.  
A little stream serveth to drive a light m●lne.  
Crabbed lines.  
There's a doubt in it.  
A hard lesson.  
Fools tie knots, and wise men lose them.  
Hard to hold.  
Not, if you'd swelled your heart.   

Non cuivis homini contingit adire Corinthum.  
Caprum portare non possum, & imponitis hovem.  
Difficilia quae pulchra.  
Herculeus nodus.  
Principibus placuisse viris haud ultima laus est.  
Clavam extorquere Herculi.  
Atlas coelum.  
Gravius quam sit Trojam capere.  
Amnis cursum cogere.  
Umbrae me prohibent.  
Magna petis Phaethon.  
Nodus Gordi●s.  
Praeter Sibyllam leget nemo.  
Nodus inest.  
Teucrum Pacuvii ediscere.  
Sphingus negotia facessit.  
Varium animal.  
Non si te ruperis—    

Differentiae.  

Old men wish, wise men warn, and young men work.  
Some for this, and some for that.  
Every man hath his proper gift.  
Every man after his fashion.  
All things fit not all persons.  
Every shoe is not for every man's feet.  
There's but a hair between.  
There went but a pair of shears between.  
They are as like, as chalk, and charcoal.  
I make no shed.  
All flesh is not venison.   

〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.  
Non omnis fert omnia tellus.  
Hîc segetes, veniunt illîc feliciùs uvae.  
Omnia non decent omnes.  
Nil extra est oleam, nihil intra est in nuce duri.  
Animus est non ubi animat, sed ubi amat.  
Pilus in medio.  
Pastillos Rufillus olet, Gorgonius hircum.  
Valeat amicus cum inimico.  
Quid distent aera lupinis?  
Thrasibylo Dionysium dicitis esse similem.    

Diffidentiae.  

Here's one, here's th'other.  
He trust you no further than I can see you.  
You give him good cause to distrust.  
Beware whom you trust.  
Seeing is believing.  
Three may keep counsel if two be away.  
One tale's good till another be told.  
Tell money after your own father.  
They never love us, whom we mistrust.  
In trust is treason.  
'Tis ill putting a naked sword in a mad man's hand.  
I dare not trust him for all his protesting.  
First try and then trust.  
As sure as if 'twere sealed with butter.  
He's about no good, he keeps so close.   

Simul da, & accipe.  
Quae nimis apparent retia vitat avis.  
Fide, & diffide.  
Visus fidelior est auditu.  
Experto crede.  
Ne Mercurio quidem credere.  
Oculatae manus.  
Quot servos tot hostes.  
Culex lychno se committens aduritur.  
Homo homini lupus.  
Timeo Danaos vel dona ferentes.  
Fidere unius noctis glacici.  
Lydus ostium claudit.    

Dignitas & excellentia.  

Worthy men shall be remembered.  
He is a proper man that hath proper conditions.  
It's a bad dog that deserves not a crust.  
This will satisfy them if any thing will.  
A brave fellow.  
A paragon of price.  
First come first served.  
As good as any in Kent or Christendom.  
A rare fellow.  
More cost more worship.  
Better go to th' head than to the feet.  
Better be the tail of a horse than th' head of an ass.   

Stat magni nominis umbra.  
Virtus gloriam parit.  
Digna canis pabulo.  
Momo satisfaciat.  
Argivo dignus clypeo.  
Nectaris flos.  
Qui prior est tempore potior est jure.  
Cato sui temporis.  
Alba avis.  
Digna cedro.  
Plus apud Campanos unguenti quam apud caeteros olei fit.    

Diligentia.  

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.  
By line and level.  
Use the means and trust  
God for a blessing.  
It smells of elbow-grease.  
Help thyself, and God will help thee.  
Lie not in the mire, and say God help.  
What will not importunity do?  
With heart and hand.  
Quick at meat, and quick at work.  
Without pains no profit.  
I'll make you turn over a new leaf.  
Good hand good hire.  
The plough goes not well if the ploughman hold it not.  
Now you have a charge look to it.  
Nothing's hard to a willing mind.  
He's at it early and late.  
Who so lacketh a stock his gain's not worth a chip.  
Nothing proves well unless it be plied.  
He that will thrive must rise at five.  
He that hath thriven may lie till seven.  
As busy as the hen that has but one chick.  
Fast bind, fast find.  
Flowing rivers are always sweet.  
He hath crotchets in his head.  
Every man for himself and God for us all.  
Lay up for a rainy day.  
He is always plodding.   

Sanat, sanctificat, ditat quoque surgere manè.  
Ad amussim.  
In nocte consilium.  
Fac interim aliquid ipse, deinde Deum invoca.  
Olet lucernam.  
Admotâ manu implorandus Deus.  
Nihil profuerit bulbus, nervis carenti.  
Flectitur iratus voce rogante Deus.  
Manibus pedibusque.  
Arator nisi incurvus praevaricatur.  
In occipitio oculos gerit.  
Incudi reddere.  
Hoc age.  
Ovium nulla utilitas si pastor abest.  
Spartam nactus es, hanc orna.  
Aristophanis & Cleanthis lucerna.  
Neque quantum lusciniae dormiunt.  
Demandere calamum.  
Lutum nisi tundatur, non fit urceus.  
Grues lapidem deglutientes.  
Sapit demorsos ungues.  
Euclionis gallus gallinaceus.  
Quasi thesaurum draco.  
Patiens pulveris ac sudoris.  
Leporinus somnus.  
Introite, nam & hic Dii sunt.  
Quaere adolescens, utere senex.  
Discenti assiduè multa senecta venit.  
— Vide Assiduitas. Labor.    

Disciplina.  

Lack of looking to make cobwebs grow in boy's tails.  
A rod will break no bones.  
With a bit and a bob, as they feed apes.  
Meat is much, but manners is more.  
A good horse oft needs a good spur.  
Aw makes Dun draw.   

Neglectis urenda filix innascitur agris.  
Phryx plagis emendatur.  
Duro flagello mens docetur rectius.    

Discordia.  

They cannot set their horses i'th' same stable.  
Cats and dogs will sooner agree.  
When thiefs fall out true men come to their goods  
I'll not foul my hands with him.  
They are at daggers drawing.  
He hath set them together by the ears.  
He hath cast a bone between them.  
They are at deadly feud.  
Two dogs strive for a bone, and the third runs away with it.  
Agree, for the Law is costly.  
They agree like cats and dogs.  
They agree like harp and harrow.  
he'll not come within forty foot of him.   

Ne viâ quidem eâdem cum eo vult ingredi.  
Prius ovem ducat lepus uxorem.  
Accipitres pugnant, dulcè loquuntur aves.  
— Plus foetent stercora mota.  
Maria omnia coelo miscuit.  
Eridis pomum.  
Rara est concordia fratrum.  
Diametro distant.  
Bellum omnium pater.  
Gamma betam persequitur.  
Facilius inter horologia convenit.    

Discriminis.  

Do as we may, if not as we would.  
'Tis too late to repent when the day's lost.  
In a desperate case.  
Hope not for hap.  
When the fox preacheth beware your geese.  
You have given the wolf the weather to keep.  
The dog hath gotten the butter to keep.  
All meats to be eaten, all maids to be wed.  
As flounders do.  
Out of the frying pan into the fire.  
Your turn is next.  
It goes on a twitter.  
He's upon making or marring.  
When we think to scape one danger, we fall into another.  
Venture not all in one bottom.  
He is on a desperate service.   

Certamen non accipit excusationes.  
Sus ad fustem.  
Suillâ absumptâ bovem non expectes.  
Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?  
Ovem lupo commis isti.  
Post folia cadunt arbores.  
In morem petunculae.  
Incidit in Scyllam cupiens vitare charybdim.  
In eâdem es navi.  
Inter sacrum & saxum.  
Flamma fumo proxima.  
Ne uni navi facultates.  
Aegeum navigat.  
In periculoso negotio non est dormitandum.    

Dissimilitudinis.  

Harp and harrow.  
There be more maids than Malkin.  
A piece of a kid is worth two of a cat.  
A sow to a saddle. A sow in a featherbed.  
An odious comparison! a dock to a daisy  
Many men many minds.  
All that's alike is not the same.  
The match is not equal.  
As like an apple is to an oyster.  
The nightcrow and the nightingale.  
The better gamester the worse man.  
As fat as a hen i'th' forehead.  
He neither will do, nor let do.  
As safe as a sow i'th' gutter.  
That which was good, never loved the friar.  
No man is good at all things.  
As lean as a dog in Lent.   

Nihil graculo cum fidibus.  
Aliter catuli longè olent, aliter sues.  
Nihil cum amaricino sui.  
Aquilam noctuae comparas.  
Quot homines tot sententiae.  
Rosam cum anemonâ confers.  
Cancros lepori comparas.  
Asinus ad lyram.  
Quid coeco cum speculo?  
Aliud noctua sonat, aliud coturnix.  
Cibum in matellam ne immittas.  
Calvus comatus.  
Canis in praesepi.  
Simia in purpura.  
In lente unguentum.  
Quae semel ancilla nunquam hera.  
Ne puero gladium.  
Tu in legione, ego in culina.  
Pica sirenem imitans.    

Dissimulatio.  
Vide Simulatio.   

Divitiae.  

He knows no end of his wealth.  
He hath so much need of it, as I have of the cough.  
Ill gotten goods never prove well.  
Riches and sin are oft married together.  
Happy is the child whose father goes to th' Devil.  
I wots well how the world wags.  
he's best loved that hath most bags.  
Men worship the rising sun.  
Many a dog is hanged for his skin, and many a man is killed for his purse.  
A rich man's money hangs him oftentimes.  
Much coin much care.  
Much meat much malady.  
Money is a great traveller, in the world.  
No cattles no care.  
Beggar's breed and rich men feed.  
Poor men go to heaven assoon as rich.  
Money is a great master in a market.  
He's rich that wants nothing.  
He that hath fl●sh good store may put the more i'th' pot.   

Craeso Crassoque ditior.  
Pactoli opes.  
Malè parta malè dilabuntur.  
Dives aut iniquus est, aut iniqui haeres.  
Quantum habet quisque, tanti fit.  
Lepus pro canibus.  
Saepe solent census hominum pervertere sensus  
Argentum fugitivum.  
Vestis virum facit.  
Arat quantum non milvus oberret.  
Nullâ coelum reparabile gazâ.  
Imperat aut servit collecta pecunia.  
Dives est non qui multum habet, sed qui nil desiderat.  
Attagenae novilunium.  
Vellus aureum.    

Divitum praerogativa.  

No man knows so well what wealth is as he that hath been poor.  
Money can do much.  
Jack would be a gentlem●n, if he had money.  
The fortunate hath many friends.  
No service to the kings.  
You are stall-fed, or corn-fed.  
Rich men are stewards for the poor.  
They may sit i'th' chair that have malt to sell.  
He that hires the horse must ride before.  
Rich men may do any thing.  
Let him that's cold blow the coal.  
Wealth makes worship.  
Ware and Wades-mill are worth all London.  
For a little land take a fool by the hand.  
Rich men use the poor as they list.  
The weakest go to the walls.  
Money makes a man.  
The poor must pay for all.  
A good purse makes a man speak boldly.  
All rivers run into the sea.  
Much shall have more.  
'Tis not safe to have many pilots in a ship.  
'Tis breeding, & not birth that makes a man.   

Non bene imperat nisi qui paruerit imperio.  
Argenteis hastis pugna.  
Felicium multi cognati.  
Fontes ipsi sitiunt.  
Felicibus sunt & trimestres liberi.  
Aliis lingua, aliis dentes.  
Quidvis nummis praesentibus opta.  
Et veniet, clausum possidet arca Jovem.  
Pecuniosus etiam nocens non damnatur.  
In pretio pretium nunc est.  
Nullum tempus occurrit regi.  
Argentei fontes loquuntur.  
Multitudo Imperatorum Cariam perdidit.  
Annus producit, non ager.    

Diuturnum.  

In future times. To perpetuity.  
To Jericho with him.  
Once an use and ever acustome.  
At latter Lammas. Never  
Ever since men could mean.  
One swallow makes not summer.  
To all posterity.  
Ever to be remembered.   

Et nati natorum.  
Ultra Hyperboreos.  
Ultra anni Solisque vias.  
Qui semel scurra, nunquam pater familias.  
Quae semel ancilla, nunquam hera.  
Priusquam ignitus lapis innatârit.  
Post hominum memoriam.  
Una hirundo non facit ver.  
Cumaei anni.  
Vetat dignum laude Thalia mori.  
Clavo trabali figere.    

Docilitas, Doctrina.  

The best horse, needs breaking.  
The aptest child needs teaching.  
To feed with a spoon.  
Learn one thing well first.  
Much science much sorrow.  
Very capable.  
Very apt to learn.  
Better unborn than untaught.  
Things hardly atteined are long retained.   

Lutum ni tundatur, non fit urceus.  
Praemansum in os inserere.  
Pluribus intentus minor est ad singula sensus.  
Apertae Musarum januae.    

Dolour.  

Sorrow comes unsent for.   

Facilis reperitur causa dolendi.  
— Vide Tristitia.    

Dolus.  

Wily beguilie deceives himself.   

Dolus & fraus patrocinantur nemini.  
— Vide Fraus.    

Domi vivere.  

Home is home be it never so homely.  
A man's house is his castle.  
To every bird his own nest is best.  
Hear and see and say best.  
Of little meddling comes most rest.  
Every man is a king at home.  
If you eat a pudding at home the dogs shall have the skin.  
Keep home and be happy.   

Patriae fumus igne alieno luculentior.  
Ad pristina praesepia.  
Bene qui latuit bene vixit.  
Domus amica domus optima.  
Domi manere oportet bellè fortunatum.  
Parietes amicitiae custodes.    

Dubitandi.  

I am in a quandary.  
Go forward and fall, go backward and mar all.  
I'll believe one that saw it, before ten that heard it.  
I durst lay a wager.   

In trivio sum.  
Inter sacrum & saxum haereo.  
Lupum auribus teneo.  
Pluris est oculatus testis unus quàm decem a●riti.  
Quovis pignore certare ausim.    

Ebrietas.  

A notable bang-pitcher.   

Silenus' altar.

Educatio.  

Birth is much, but breeding's more.  
Cloth shapes, meat maintains, but manners make the man.  
Good education is the best portion.   

Ingenuas didicisse fideliter artes Emollit mores.  
Plus debet Alexander Aristoteli praeceptori quam Philippo patri—  
— Vide Ingenii Malitia, etc.    

Elabendi.  

He outran the Constable.  
He has made him lose his longing.  
He can go invisible.  
He hath scaped a scouring.  
'Tis an hard battle where none scape.  
Almost was never hanged.  
When many irons be in the fire some must needs cool.  
Soon i'th' dike and soon out.  
He's a bad musician that can sing but one song.   

Formicae semitam canit.  
Corvum delusit hiantem.  
Gygis annulum habet.  
Non omnes volucres auceps, non omnia lustra, Venator spoliat.  
Canis qui duos lepores sequitur, neutrum assequitur.  
Thynnus elapsus.  
Rodere casses.  
Luto pedem evellere.    

Error.  
Vide Aberrandi.   

Excellentia & aequalitas.  

He bears away the bell.  
He has won the spurs—  
One's as good as a hundred  
The best is best cheap.  
A man in print.  
A per se a.  
A stout maimed Soldier is worth ten cowards that have their limbs.  
All lay load on a willing horse.  
Leave not a falcon for a kite.  
A bit of a kid's worth the body of a kite.  
Two good things are better than one.  
One man is better than th●●e.  
A very none such.  
A masterpiece.  
There's difference betwixt chalk and cheese.  
There's no comparison.  
There's no fishing to the sea—  
No service to the kings.  
Where the Sun shineth the moon's's not seen.  
Though good be good, yet better's better.  
He domineers bravely where fools be.  
You challenge him that may be your master.  
He is not worthy to carry his books.  
A very nobody.  
The rest may cast their caps at him.  
Two to one is overmatcht.  
Meddle with your match.  
It's good being best.  
Better be head of an ass than tail of a horse.  
Better is better.  
Good ware makes quick markets.  
He crows loud upon a dunghill.  
He outshot him in 's own bow.  
The nightingale and cuckoo sing both in one month.   

Omne tulit punctum.  
Unus multorum instar.

God give you such luck.  
I would I might never stir else.

Thyastea execratio.  
Intestina canes, caetera membra lupi.    

Exercitatio.  

After dinner sit a while.  
After supper walk a mile.  
A little learning does well.  
Use legs and have legs.  
Drawn wells are seldom dry.  
Drawn wells have sweetest water.   

Post epulas stabis vel passus mille meabis.  
Pueri sat discunt si aestate valent.  
Exerce juventam.  
Cotem esse.  
Puteus si hauriatur, melior evadit.    

Excusandi.  

When the Musician hath forgot his note he makes as though a crumb stuck in his throat.  
Better a bad excuse than none at all.  
he'll be misted as bad as he is.  
Wink at small faults.  
Apothecary's would not give pills in sugar, unless they were bitter.   

Haesitantia cantoris tussis.  
Extinctus amabitur idem    

Exilium.  

Men know where they were borne, not where they shall die.  
Good men find not their country kind.   

Servabis bovem.  
Testaceum flagellum.    

Ex eventu judicium.  

The end is all.  
It will prove a scab i'th' end.  
Great weights hang on small wires.  
An ill beginning hath an ill ending.  
Count not your chickens before they be hatched.  
All the proof of a pudding is in the eating.  
He that reckons without his host must reckon twice.  
They may laugh that win.  
A simple man or hopeful child, would you think it?  
A fair pawn, never shamed his master.  
Praise a fair day at night.  
Bought wit is best.  
A burnt child will fear the fire.   

Finis non pugna coronat.  
Mali principii malus finis.  
Magistratus virum indicat.  
Uno absurdo dato mille sequuntur.  
Cocta numerabimus exta.  
Utere curru, de asinis nihil laboramus.  
Mercurius infans.  
Exitus acta probat.  
Malo accepto stultus sapit.  
Piscator ictus sapit.    

Exitium honestum.  

That's good that doth us good.  
The end proves the act.  
That never ends ill which gins in God's name.  
It's never bad day that hath a good night.   

Bonum est quod prodest.  
De pulchro ligno vel strangulare.    

Experientiae & periclitationis.  

The burnt child feareth the fire.  
Wit is naught till it be bought.  
An old cinque cater.  
I will trust mine own eyes better than report.  
Seeing is believing.  
I'll make either bolt or shaft of it.  
You must spoil before you spin.  
Experience is the mistress of fools.  
It's but my essay, I played not to day.   

Ictus piscator sapit.  
Delius natator.  
Quae nocent docent.  
In Care periculum.  
Oculatus testis unus plus valet quàm decem auriti.  
Omnem movere lapidem.  
Cadat alea fati alterutrum mersura caput.  
In dolio figularem artem discere.  
Experientia stultorum est magistra.  
Semper tibi pendeat hamus.  
Et post malam fegetem serendum est.  
Tractant fabrilia fabri.    

Ex seize.  

He has it by kind, it costs him nought.  
They that hide can find.  
A coiner of lies.  
He may thank himself.  
They that go a borrowing go a sorrowing.   

Domi habet, Domi nascitur.  
Ex sese fingit velut aranea.  
Nemo laeditur nisi à se ipso.  
Emere malo quam rogare.    

Facilitas.  

As easy as to drink.   

Tam in proclivi quam imber.  
— Vide Proclivitas.    

Facundia.  

A fatal song.  
A merry fellow fit for all companies.  
Fair words.  
That's well spoken that's well taken.  
Silver hath a silver sound.  
Good words help sick minds.  
He will not be to know, that he hath knowledge.  
There's craft in daubing.   

Attica musa.  
Cygnea cantio.  
Omnium horarum homo  
Nectar spirat.  
Verba cupressis similia.  
Gratias musis commiscere.  
Byssina verba.  
Mercurii catena.  
Animae aegrotantis medicus oratio.  
Quanto verborum stillat auro.  
Summi artificis artem dissimulare.  
Ornari res ipsa negat contenta doceri.  
Orator debet esse siren loquendo, vulpes componendo.    

Fama.  

Common fame is not always true.  
I would live so, that I might leave a good name behind me.   

Fama volat mendax.  
Placere vivus, laudari mortuus volo.  
Esto quod audis.    

Fames.  

A sharp stomach makes short devotion.  
Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings.  
Hard fare makes hungry stomaches.  
The belly hath no ears.  
Hunger maketh hard bones sweet beans.  
There's never enough where nought leaves.  
Well guessed Kath. here's neither to lack nor to leave.  
Hunger is the best sauce.  
An egg and to bed.  
Better fill the belly than the eye.  
Hunger will make a man leap at a crust.  
Better have meat than fine clothes.  
The belly is not fed with fair words.  
Where coin is not common, commons must be scant.  
Children & chickens must ever be eating.  
Hunger breaks stone walls.  
As the sow fills the draugh sowers.  
Burrough men merry, more bread than drink.  
They that have no other meat, bread and butter are glad to eat.  
Two hungry meals make the third a glutton.  
he'll make a shift for his victuals.  
Had I fish, is good without mustard.  
He eats up both dish and meat.  
The belly thinks the throat cut.  
I never fared worse than when I wished for my supper.  
Evening orts are good morning fodder.  
A bit it'h morning's better than nought all day.   

Non interpellandus latrans venter.  
Jejunus stomachus rarò vulgaria temnit.  
Miserrimum fame mori.  
Non missura cutim nisi plena cruoris hirudo.  
Si non adsunt carnes, ossibus contentos esse oportet.  
Non est improbior res altera ventre molesto.  
Optimum condimentum fames.  
Magistra malorum improba existit fames.  
Venture non habet aures.  
Molestus interpellator venter.  
Maza esurienti auro charior.  
Caseus & panis sunt optima fercula sanis.  
Ventre pleno melior consultatio.  
E flamma cibum petit.  
Una cum ipso canistro.  
Ejus dentes vel silicem comedere possunt.  
Fames praeter scipsam edulcat omnia.    

Fatum.  

No striving against the stream.  
What God will, that must be.  
He that's borne to be drowned shall never be hanged.   

Inevitabile fatum.    

Festinationis.  

Switches and spur.  
Post for puddings.  
Of kin to the Hastings.  
To lay the key under the door and be gone.  
In post haste.  
Make haste to be out of harm.  
Take time and do it well.  
No haste but good speed.  
Hasty men never want woe.   

Navibus atque quadrigis.  
Talaria induis.  
Citius quam asparagi coquuntur.  
Vir fugiens haud moratur lyrae strepitum.  
Currenti rota.  
Celeritas in malis optima—  
Currenti calcar addero.  
Salaminea navis.  
Matura satio saepe decipit, sera semper mala est.  
Sacra celerius absolvenda.  
Ut canis in Nilo.    

Festinatio praepropera.  

More haste worse speed.  
Soon ripe soon rotten.  
Hast maketh waste.  
Too rank to ripen.  
Take your work before you.  
You are in your roast meat when others are in their sodden.  
Soon got, soon spent.  
You are too hasty to make a parish clerk.  
Learn to say before you sing.  
First creep and then go.  
No haste to hang true men.  
Soon hot soon cold.  
He's all on the spur.  
What? no more but up and ride?  
Shoot one arrow after another.   

Qui nimis properè, minus prosperè.  
Qui nimium properat serius absolvit.  
Praecocia non diuturna.  
Odi puerulos praecoci fapientia.  
In herba luxuries.  
Canis festinans caecos parit catulos.  
Priusquam mactâris excorias.  
Cito maturum cito putridum.  
Ante victoriam encomium canis.  
Opus est Zephyris & hirundine multa.  
Prius ingredere, nond●m natare didicisti.  
Fulminis in morem.  
Cursu praevertere ventos.  
Pegasus nuncius.  
In idem flumen bis non descendimus.    

Fides & gravitas.  

You may trust him with untold money.  
You may write on't if he say it.  
In trust is truth.   

Dignus quîcum in tenebris mices.  
Folium Sybillae.  
Dictum ac factum.  
Ex Tripode.  
Attica fides.  
Legatus non caeditur neque violatur.  
Ex Jovis tabulis testis.  
Radamantheum judicium.  
Oculis magis habend● fides quam auribus.  
Totus teres atque rotundus.    

Finis.  

All's well that ends well.  
The end tryeth all.   

Finis non pugna coronat  
Ex eventu judicium.  
— Vide Exitium honestum.    

Foeminae.  

Trust no secrets with a woman.  
Fair and false.  
No war without a woman.  
Women and dogs set men together by the ears.  
The'lone sheep's in danger of the wolf.  
Witty women are sweet companions.  
Many women many words  
Take a hare without a muse, and a woman without a ' excuse.  
A woman, ass, and walnut-tree, the more you beat the better be.  
As great pity to see a woman weep as a goose go bare foot.  
Winter weather and women's thoughts change oft.  
A woman is the weaker vessel.  
'tis better being a shrew than a sheep.  
Women are always in extremes.  
Women are necessary evils.  
A wicked woman and an evil is three half pence worse than th' devil.  
Weale, and women, never same, but sorrow and they can.  
Women if they be entreated refuse.  
— Say nay as maids do.  
Change of women makes bald knaves.  
One woman will not serve his turn.  
'Tis safe taking a shive of a cut loaf.  
A good housewife is a jewel.  
Long be lither, and little be loud.  
Fair be foolish, and foul be proud.   

Nec mulieri nec gremio credendum.  
Helena Trojam.  
Mulier pudica ne sola sit unquam.  
Mulieri ne credas, ne mortuae quidem.  
Thessala mulier.  
Quantum est Helena quod lachrymat mali?  
Varium & mutabile semper foemina.  
Foemina aut minus quam canem aut senionem jacit.  
Ignis mare mulier, tria sunt mala.  
Novi ingenium mulierum, nolunt ubi velis, ubi nolis cupiunt ultrò  
Complura, masculi canis, cubilia.  
Mulier vel odit vel amat, non datur tertium.    

Focus.  

A good fire is the best household stuff.   

Focus luculentus in aedibus.    

Forma, & deformitas.  

You look like the picture of ill luck.  
They love the face, not the grace.  
A black man is a jewel in a woman's eye.  
Beauty is a blaze.  
Fair feathers make a fowl fair.  
The finest shoe often hurts the foot.  
A black plumms as sweet as a white.  
When the wares be gone, shut up the shop-windows.  
Grace will last, favour will blast.  
Pepper's black, and snow is white.  
She simpers as a mare, when she eats thistles.  
Neither fair nor faithful.  
Painted pictures are dead speakers.  
A fair face is half a portion.  
A dainty creature.  
Jone's as good as my Lady i'th' dark.  
When th'candle's out all cats be grey.  
Men love the fairest.   

Ominabitur aliquis, te conspecto.  
Facies non uxor amatur.  
Quod vides non diu florebit.  
Quid juvat forma corporis, si in hospitio pulchro deformis sit hospes?  
Res est forma fugax.  
Fastus inest pulchris, sequiturque superbia formam.  
Alba ligustra cadunt.  
Certus amor morum est, formam populabitur aetas.  
O quam bellula, pulchellula, puellula!  
A furiis oriundus.  
Nec bella nec puella.  
Quod pulchrum idem amicum.  
Ex ovo prodiit.  
Thersitae fac●es.  
Quod pulchrum est placer.    

Fortitudinis.  

Heroical spirits fear not to die.  
A stout heart fears no colours.  
A good leader is all in all.  
A good cock will never out.  
He'll not yield an inch.  
A good heart may do well any where.  
Set hard edge to hard luck  
Nothing venture nothing have.  
A truebred soldier.  
Better at swords than words.  
He's come of the right kind   

Servus non est, qui mortem negligit.  
Achillem spirat.  
Incus maxima non metuit strepitum aliarum.  
Unus lanius non timet multas oves.  
Gallus insistit.  
Ille, velut pelagi rupes immota resistit.  
Quasi lupus in armis.  
Stylo ferreo scribit.  
Omne solum forti patria est.  
Pons a tergo abruptus est.  
Tu nè cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.  
Quid sine pectore corpus?  
Audendum tibi aliquid si vis esse aliquid.  
Aut manenti vincendum aut moriendum.  
Plus virium debet esse in latere quam in onere.  
Pro aris & focis.  
Vir Romanus.  
Moenia ferrea non terrea.  
Lingua quidem segnis, sed dextra viget.  
Sustine & abstine.  
Unum augurium optimum, tueri patriam.  
Solae Lacenae viros pariunt.    

Fortuitus eventus.  

It chanceth in an hour which happeneth not in seven years.  
A blind man may catch a crow.  
Come what come may.  
Hap hazard.  
For better for worse.  
He plays well that wins   

Semper tibi pendeat hamus.  
Quo minimè credis gurgite piscis erit.  
Multa cadunt inter calicem supremaque labra.  
Saepè etiam stultus opportuna loquitur.  
Quaecunque est, fortuna mea est.  
Sors omnia versat.  
Omne meum & nihil meum.  
Quisque suos patimur manes.    

Fortunae commutatio.  

Prosperity is not durable.  
A man is a man, though he have but a hose on his bead.  
Honour's change manners.  
The priest forgets that ever he was clerk.  
The highest tree hath the greatest fall.  
When the world is at worst is will mend.  
Many things happen unlooked for.  
Ill news comes unsent for.  
All that are in bed must not have quiet rest.  
You know not what may become of yourself.  
When bale is highest boot is next.  
This will not last always.  
Sweet meats must have sour sauce.  
From the cart to the court  
You must not look to win always.  
He laugheth with tears in's eyes.  
A flow will have an ebb.  
The world's well amended with me.  
He went out with shift, and came home with shame.  
It will not always be honeymoon.  
Fortune doth try men.  
Out of the hall into the kitchen.  
Out of God's blessing into the warm sun.  
Give not over though your luck be bad.  
The world may turn topsy turvy in an hour.  
Expect not a golden life in an iron world.  
All are not in bed that must have quiet rest.  
Every day is not yesterday.  
Though seldom, yet sometimes comes the better.  
The world is not always at a stay.  
The wind keeps not always in one quarter.  
It is not the gay-coat that makes the gentleman.  
I to day, you to morrow.  
Though I be bitten, I am not all eaten.  
He hath done with his best day.  
A young serving man an old beggar.  
When men are at highest they must come down.   

Fortuna vitrum est, dum splendet, frangitur.  
Aut sumus aut fuimus aut possumus esse quod hic est.  
Fortuna cùm blanditur captum venit.  
Honores mutant mores.  
Alia vita, alia dieta.  
Celsae graviore casu decidunt turres.  
Cum Deo quisque gaudet & flet.  
Multa cadunt inter calicem supremaque labra.  
Fors domina campi.  
Res in foro nostro vertitur.  
Non, si malè nunc, & olim  
Dabit Deus his quoque finem.  
— Miscentur tristia laetis.  
A remo ad tribunal.  
Ipsa Dies quandoque parens, quandoque noverca.  
Nulla dies moerore caret.  
Ajacis risus.  
Aeger qui veni medicus abeo.  
Dionysius Corinthi.  
Aestatem comitatur hyems.  
Explorant adversa viros.  
Adversae nudare solent, caelare secundae.  
Ab equis ad asinos.  
Si crebrò jacias, alias jeceris.  
Nescis quid serus vesper ferat.  
Demens dolorem ridet infelicium.  
Superanda est omnis fortuna ferendo.  
Fluvius non semper fert secures.  
Fortunam citius reperias quàm retineas.  
Evasi malum, & inveni bonum.  
Nunc pluit, & claro nunc Juppiter aethere fulget.  
Non semper iidem flant venti.  
Simia erit simia etsi aurea gestat insignia.  
Omnium rerum est vicissitudo.  
Equi senecta.  
Propè ad fummum, propè ad exitum.    

Fortunatus.  

He was leapt in his mother's smock.  
He that hath plenty of goods shall have more.  
Some have the hap, some stick i'th' gap.  
A man may be happy if he will himself.  
He rose on his right side.  
He hath got God Almighty by the toe.  
He is a man every inch of him.   

Neque compluitur neque sole comburitur.  
Gallinae filius albae.  
Romanus sedendo vincit.  
Faber quisque fortunae suae.  
Capram coelestem orientem aspexit.  
Coelo digitum attingere.    

Fortunata stultitia.  

He that is borne to be hanged shall never be drowned.  
'Tis better through hap then good husbandry.  
Fools are fortunate.  
Fortune sometimes favours fools.  
Tradesmen live upon lack.  
Give a man fortune and cast him into the sea.  
Hap and halfpenny goods enough.  
A drunken man seldom catcheth harm.  
Naught is never in danger  
It will last longer than a better thing.  
A rich curmudgeon.  
His treasure saw neither fun nor moon this many a day.   

Quem fortuna nigrum scripserit, hunc non universum aevum candidum potest reddere.  
Annus producit segetem, non ager.  
Contingit & malis venatio.  
Si lubeat servare, procul quoque numina possunt.  
Malum vas non frangitur.  
Terrâ defossum habet.    

Fraus.  

He hath met with as crafty a knave as himself.  
Hunt the wild goose chase.  
He hath a hundred tricks to deceive.  
'tis ill balting before the cripple.  
Where he hoped for life, he found death.  
Between two craftie-knaves, there needs no broker.  
Wrong reckoning is no payment.  
You shall not make me your stalking-horse.  
He that mischief hatcheth, mischief catcheth.  
He must have a long spoon that will eat with the Devil.  
He is wise that is honest.  
A crafty fox never preyeth near his den.  
Frost and fraud have foul fare-wells.  
If the lion's skin cannot, the foxes shall.  
This is the way to catch the old one.  
Either by might or flight.  
A short man needs no stool to give a great lubber a box o'th' ear.  
Ask my fellow if I be a thief.  
He hath beguiled the fox.  
There I caught the knave, in a pursenet.  
A fencer hath one trick in his budget more than ever he taught his scholar.  
The world is full of knaves  
Hang him that hath no shifts.  
What might cannot, malice shall.  
Weak men had need be witty.   

Alternos orbibus orbes impediunt.  
Homo duo decim artium.  
Cretensis incidit in Cretensem.  
Homo homini lupus.  
Calix vitae calix mortis.  
Nucleum amisi; reliqui pignori putamina.  
Novi Simonem, & Simon me.  
Latet anguis in herba.  
Nusquam tuta fides.  
Non hospes ab hospite tutus.  
Multa norâs oportet quibus Deum fallas.  
Acinos sus improba pendes.  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.  
Si leonina pellis non sa●is est, assuenda vulpi●●.  
Dolus an virtus quis in hoste requirit.

Pulchrè decepit vulpem.  
Caeca die vendere oculata emere.  
Decipula murem cepit.  
Multa novit vulpes, verùm echinus unum.  
Sub omni lapide dormit scorpius.  
Vias novit quibus effugit Eucrates.  
Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo.  
Mathematici abstrahunt, nec mentiuntur.  
Cretes non omnia fingunt.    

Fraus ab amico.  

He hath neither truth, nor honesty.  
He left him in the lurch.  
All are not friends that speak us fair.  
In trust is treason.  
To trust to a broken staff, or bow.   

Illi nec ara est, nec fides.  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.  
Fronti nulla fides.  
Nusquam tuta fides.  
Vallus vitem decipit.    

Frugalitas.  

A small sum will serve to pay a short reckoning.  
Many littles make a much.  
A fool and his money is soon parted.  
Cut your coat according to your cloth.  
He maketh two sons in law of one daughter.  
One d●sh should serve the turn.  
Spend and be free, but make no waist.  
Fish before the nets.  
Men must do as they may, not as they would.  
Let your purse be your master.  
A frugal life.  
Save something for the man that rides on the white horse.  
Keep some, till furthermore come.  
Better late than never.  
A little stream, drives a light milne.  
Who will not keep a penny shall never have many.  
One hand in a purse is enough.  
Spend as you get.  
Make much of what you have.  
Hold fast, while you have it.  
It's a bad stake that will not stand one ye arei'th hedge.   

Hecatae coena.  
Repetita saepius henas, tandem fit chilias.  
Summum vectigal parsimonia.  
Contrahe de minimis, magnus acervus erit.  
Duos parietes eâdem fideliâ dealbare.  
Si caseum haberem, non desiderarem obsonium.  
Divitiae grandes homini sunt vivere parcè.  
Manu ferendum, non thylaco.  
Messe tenus propriâ vivito.  
Vita doliaris.  
Cogitato quam longa sit hyems.  
Praestat serò quàm nunquam sapere.  
Ante lentem non augenda est olla.  
Non minor est virtus quàm quaerere parta tueri.  
Salem lingere.  
Xenocratis caseolus.  
Aëre & rore pastus.  
Anima sicca sapientissima.  
Oleo fraudare lucernas.    

Frustrata spes.  

He thought he had got God Almighty by ●he hand but 'twas the Devil by the ●ow●.  
You fish fair and catch a frog.  
In trust is treason.  
All the fat's i'th' fire.  
He ha●h lost his longing.  
Between two stools the tail falls to th' ground.  
He that thinks himself surest, may be deceived.  
Sell not the Bear's skin before you have caught him.  
Count your chickens when they be hatched.  
To lean upon a broken staff.

Fucus.  

Honest simplicity is better than subtility.  
she's a painted—  
Poets and painters have leave to lie.  
A good face needs no hand  
He can cover a knaves head with an honest man's hat.  
A Lion is known by his powe.  
One of Saint Nicholas clerks.  
A subtle fellow.  
He sets the fair side forward.  
In the coldest flint, there's hot fire.   

Lecythum habet in malis.  
Pictoribus atque Poetis  
Quidlibet audendi semper fuit aequa potestas.  
Forma viros neglecta decet.  
Qui pingit florem non pingit floris odorem.  
Cauda de vulpe testatur.  
Homo trium literarum.  
Mercurius triceps.  
Geometriam exercere in cilio.  
Totam spirare Arabiam.  
Prosopion habet non prosopon.    

Fuerunt non sunt.  

The case is altered.  
Those days are gone.  
All the fat is in the fire.  
Our best days are gone.  
Lincoln was—   

Fuêre quondam strenui Milesii.  
Fuimus Troes, fuit Ilium—  
Nos quoque floruimus, sed flos fuit ille caducus.  
Stat magni nominis umbra.  
Hactenus potui, habui, fui.    

Furtum.  

An arrant theefe.   

Non fuit Autolyci tam piceata manus.    

Garrulitas.  

He that is a blab is a scab.  
He tells tales out of th'school.  
Words are swords.  
Wit whither wilt thou?  
Every thing hath an end and a pudding two.  
First think & then speak.  
He can never hold his lips together.  
— The fewer the better fare.  
He never speaks but bis mouth opens.  
To speak much and to the matter is two men's labour.  
You must not tell tales out of the tavern.  
He holds like a riddle.  
They talk as their wit serves them.  
A fool's bolt is soon shot.  
A broken sack will hold no corn.  
Little to the purpose.  
Of a molehill he makes a mountain.  
Much matter of a wooden platter.  
He prates like a pothecary.  
He prates like a parrot.  
His tongue runs on wheels.  
Words without matter.  
Save your breath to cool your porridge.  
His mouth runs over.  
Deeds are male, but words are female.

Gaudium.  

No joy without annoy.   

— Gaudia luctus occupat.  
— Vide Laetitia.    

Gloria.  

More cost more worship.  
Good wine needs not an ivybush.  
He may do well for aught I know.  
Much bruit little fruit.  
Men are loved farthest off.  
Worthy men shall never be forgotten.  
It matters not what men say of us.   

Gloria ad Herculeas enotuit usque columnas.  
— Miserum est alienae incumbere famae.  
Vino vendibili non opus est suspensa hedera.  
Ubi uber ibi tuber.  
In tenebris saltat.  
Vox & praeterea nihil.  
Non fit sine periculo facinus memorabile.  
Virtutem incolumem odimus, sublatam ex oculis quaerimus.  
Minuit praesentia famam.  
Dignum laude virum musa vetat mori.  
Nec te quaesiveris extra.    

Gratitudo.  

A kind heart never loseth aught.  
He that measureth oil shall anoint his fingers.  
Il's an ill dog is not worth whistling.  
God's blessing on your heart for it.  
Many kiss the child for the nurse's sake.  
Kindness will creep where't cannot go.  
A kindness well bestowed.

Nemo unquam bene factori bovem immolavit praeter Pariam.  
Sylosontis chlamys.    

Gula.  

Fat paunches make lean pates and grosser bits enrich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the wits.  
His brains are in's belly—  
His belly is too strong for's purse.  
When the belly is full the bones would be at rest.  
He that any good would win, at his mouth must first begin.  
Apples, eggs and nuts, you may eat though dressed by sluts.  
His teeth outgo his hands.  
He'll not part with's provender.  
No sooner up, but head i'th' ambrey and nose i'th' cup.  
Old dog at a barley bag-pudding.  
Dinners cannot be long where dainties want.  
After cheese comes nothing.  
He cares not how good his drink be so his bread be good.   

Pinguis venter non gignit sensum tennem.  
Impletus venter non vult studere libenter.

Haeredipetae.  

They may long go barefoot that hope of live-mens' shoes.  
Will ye kiss his tail before his hose be down.   

Si vultures, cadaver expecta.    

Homo.  

Man is a God or Devil to his neighbour.   

Homo homini Deus.  
Homo homini Daemon.    

Honos indigno habitus. 
 Honos virtuti debitus.  

Honour and ease are seldom bedfellows.  
Crowns have cares.  
Win gold and wear gold.  
Doctor Dodipoll is more honoured then a good divine.  
Now virtue is not honoured.  
Desert goes a begging.  
For want of a wise man, a fool is set in the chair.  
First come, first served.  
A sow in a featherbed.  
Where honour ceaseth there knowledge decreaseth.  
No penny no Pater noster.  
In courts are cares.  
Better be the head of the yeomanry, than the tail of the gentry.  
Honour is uncertain.  
A kindness ill bestowed is an unkindness.  
From the cart to the court.  
A great shoe fits not a little foot.  
Give him his due though he be the Devil.   

Honos onus.  
Ni purges & moles non comedes.  
Malus Choraules, bonus symphoniacus.  
Corvi lusciniis honoratiores.  
Bos in quadrá argentea.  
Qui primus venerit, primus molet.  
Tragica simia.  
Bos in civitate.  
Honos alit artes.  
Curia curarum genitrix.  
Esto potius cauda leonum quam caput vulpium.  
Strumam dibapho tegere.  
Honor est bonum sine sera & clave.  
Benefacta malè collocata sunt malè facta.  
Induitis me leonis exuvium.  
Omnem lapidem nitidum adorantes.    

Honestas.  

Plain dealing is praised more than practised.   

— Probitas laudatur & alget.    

Hospitalitatis, & contra.  

Better to be at the end of a feast then the beginning of a fray.  
A kennel is lodging good enough for a dog.  
It's merry i'th' hall when beards wag all.  
He keepeth a good house.  
He never wanteth good cheer.   

Si vinum postulat, pugnas illi dato.  
Igne eodem & aquâ uti.  
Porta patens esto, nulli claudaris honesto.  
Semper aliquid in Cydonis domo.    

Humilitas.  
Full vessels sound least.  
A high building a low foundation.   

Hypocrisis.  

All's not gold that glisters.  
Fire i'th' one hand and water i'th' other.  
The more courtesy the more craft.  
I pray you do as you say.  
He winks wiles.  
He is as false as the Devil.  
Fair without, foul within.  
A fair hood on a false head.  
I'll be holy I marry will I  
He that winks with one eye, and looks with the other.  
I will not trust him though he were my brother.  
The Devil is dead in a di●cb.  
The other's but his stalking horse.  
There's falsehood in fellowship.  
He fleeres you in the face but would cut your throat.  
To practise mischief in hugger mugger.  
You cannot wed both the mistress and malkin her maid.  
He looks like a saint, but the devil he is.  
He carrieth two faces under one hoo●.  
He is turned puritan.  
There's as much hold of his word as a wet eel by the toil.  
Neither fish nor flesh nor good red herring.  
The french pox had need of a strong perfume.  
Counterfeit sanctity is double iniquity.  
Bravely dressed, but the worst part is i'th' midst.  
I'll paint you in your likeness.  
The nearer the church the further from God.  
As fine as five pence over dear of three pence.  
A wolf laped in a lambskin.  
He looks as if butter would not melt in his mouth.  
A fair outside.   

Laudamus veteres, sed nostris utimur annis.  
Alterâ fert manu lapidem, altera panem ostentat.

jactantia.  

All's not Gospel that comes out of his mouth.  
His words are but wind.  
Nothing but Say-soes.  
Many talk of Robin Hood that never shot in's bow.  
Can't you farewell but you must cry roast?  
A man may love his house well and yet not ride on the ridge.  
He bellowss like a bull, but is as weak as a bulrush—  
Much bran and little meal.  
Wear a horn and blow it not.  
He loves to hear himself speak.  
Great barkers are no biters.  
Brag's a good dog.  
The greatest talkers, are not the greatest doers.  
He is poor, can promise nothing.  
Every cocke's proud on 's own dunghill.  
He's where he would be.  
He brags as if he had harrowed hell.  
He that useth to lie, is not always believed when he says true.  
He swaggers as though the whole town was his own.  
You brag of many good morrows.  
Green thoughts and great minds.  
Among the common people Scoggin's a doctor.  
Keep your wind to cool your porridge.  
He spoke of a fox, but when all came to all, it was but a fern broke.  
Doth he do as he says?  
He's good at words, is he so at swords?  
As proud as a peacock.  
He puts himself into the number of onions, but is not worth a scallion.  
He makes a great show, but's not worth a great.  
Empty vessels make the greatest sound.  
He thinks he's now a fine fellow.  
Great cry and little wool.  
Great boast and small roast.  
Bare words are no lawful bargain.  
I'll out vie him with bidding.

They draw a light harrow.  
He that is afraid of the leaves must not come into the wood.  
No sweet without some sweat.  
Sick of the idles.  
They must hunger in frost that will not work in heat.  
The fickle and the scythe that love I not to see.  
But the good ale-tankard happy might it be.  
Standing pools gather filth.  
He cannot bear a feather but he must pant.  
The muffled cat is never good mouser.

Ignoratio.  

He that plays for more than he sees for-feits his eyes to the king.  
The blind eat many a fly.  
Vnkith, unkist.  
A prince's virtue is to know his subjects.  
He does well, but none knows but himself.  
He would wipe his nose if if he had one  
When all candles be out all cats be grey.  
As good a Scholar as my horse Ball.  
He cannot say shooh to a goose.  
Much water goes by th' milne, that the milner knows not off.  
Much corn lies under the straw that is not seen.  
A lose jointed speech.

Impossibilia.  

He can't if he should swelled his heart.  
I cannot believe it though I saw it myself.  
You tell how many holes be in a scummer.  
To perform a doughty piece of service.  
All the craft is in the catching.  
Every man can't speak with the king.  
Every one cannot be a gentleman.  
He must rise betimes that pleaseth all.  
Not God above gets all men's love.  
You may catch a hare with a taber soon.  
'Tis hard to laugh and cry both in a breath.  
Pigs fly in the air with their tails forward.  
You'd catch a hare with a taber.  
Do as you may, when you can't do as you would.  
You strive against the stream.  
He kicks against the pricks.  
You cannot both eat your Cake & give your Cake.  
No living man all things can.  
It's hard to make mutton of a sow.

Show me a liar and i'll show you a thief.

He can ill be master that never was scholar.  
A good tale ill told is marred i'th' telling.  
There's no play without a fool.  
He that buys lawn before he can fold it, shall repent him before he hath sold it.  
He that worst may, must hold the candle.

I'll know him from a black sheep.  
Take him in a good turn and knock out his brains.  
If ye swear, wee'st catch no fish.  
Every man is either a God or a Devil to his neighbour.  
He may do much ill ere he can do worse.  
Their own knavery will pay them home at length.  
He looks like a knave.  
he's not worth the ground he goes on.  
He that hath done so much hurt, he can do no more, may sit down and rest him.  
A liar is worse than a thief.  
He's fool of th' company.  
They that go to sleep with dogs must rise with fleaes.  
A knave in grain.  
Hell's broke lose.  
He that's wicked is a witall.  
'Tis easy to bowl down the hill.

Imprudentiae.  

The wisest man may be overseen.  
He that stands by, sees more than he that plays the game.  
'Tis a good horse that never stumbleth.  
The greatest clerks are not always the wisest men.  
A mere scholar is a mere ass.

Panicus casus.  
Canes timidi vehementius latrant.

Inanis opera.  

All's lost both labour and cost.  
You labour in vain.  
You seek a needle in a bottle of hay.  
Make a rope of sand as soon.  
Not worth the cost.  
Ye pour water on a drowned mouse.  
Strive not against the stream—  
Labour in vain.  
You bestow water on a gate-post.  
You may gape long enough ere a bird fall in your mouth.  
All you do for him is put into a riven dish.  
They run well but they have ill luck.  
Puff not against the wind.  
You knock at a wrong door.  
You shall have that which the cat left in the malt heap.  
Cast your cap at the moon.  
Great pain and little gain will make a man soon weary.  
You'd as good beat your heels against the ground  
You burn day light.  
he's overmatcht. Better sit still than—  
You may save your labour.  
Bid a churlish dog bite.  
Here's a great deal of cry and little wool, quoth the fellow when he shore his hogs.  
Early up and never the near.  
The moon shine i'th' waterpot.  
Great pains to little purpose.  
You shall have your labour for your pains.  
Great pains but all in vain.  
Great pains to little purpose.  
It hangs together as pebbles in a with.  
One beats the bush, another gets the bird.  
Your cake is dough.  
In at one ear and out of the other.  
He looseth his longing.  
'Tis folly to kick against a prick.  
He is out of his element.  
Better play for nothing than work for nothing.  
Put up your pipes.  
To lick his lips after that he cannot get.  
You catch birds by laying salt on their tails.  
He that washeth an asses head loseth both his lie and his labour.  
I do what I can quoth the fellow when he thresht in is cloak.  
You pour water into a sieve.  
You do and undo, the day's long enough.  
To build castles in the air.

Inaequalis pensatio.  

I cannot live by selling ware for words.  
Miss-reckoning is no payment.  
A long harvest of a little corn.  
I have brought my hogs to a fair market.  
Share and share like, some all some never a whit.  
Bid a man to roast, and beat him with the spit.  
Break a man's head, then give him a plaster.  
He that is manned with boys, and horsed with colts, shall have his meat eaten, and his work undone.  
A foisting hound.  
If you will have the fair lady, you must have her foul—  
A man may buy gold too dear.  
He gave him a flap with a fox tail.  
He loseth favour on land, to seek fortune at sea.  
He hath brought up a bird to pick out his own eyes.

Pro malo cane suem reposcis.  
Diomedis & Glauci permutatio.  
Neque accipitri neque milvo tenditur ista.    

Incertus eventus.  

A man may come soon enough to an ill bargain.  
He that leaves certainty and leans to chance when fool's pipe, he may dance.  
Man purposeth, God disposeth.  
It's not all butter the cow shites.   

Mars communis.  
Inter os & offam.  
Multa cadunt inter calicem supremaque labra.  
Exitus in dubio est.  
Nescis quid serus vesper vehat.  
Si crebro jacias aliud aliàs jeceris.  
Nec vola nec vestigium.    

Incitare.  

To sound an alarm.  
'Tis not good to wake a sleeping dog.  
A running horse needs no spur.  
As water in a smith's forge that serves rather to kindle than quench.  
Spur not a free horse to much.   

Bellicum canere.  
Alas addere.  
Sponte sua properant▪  
Frigidam aquam suffu●dere.  
Equites in campum provocare.    

Inconstantiae perfidiae versutiae.  

An old bird is not catcht with chaff.  
He hath wind milnes in's head.  
Take tap under lap and turn back again.  
You are a crafty companion.  
You deal with a slippery fellow.  
The rolling stone gathers no moss.  
Kind to day, cross to morrow.  
His shoes be made of running leather.  
As wavering as the weathercock.  
Won with the egg and lost with the shell.  
Fast and lose is no possession.  
A jolly turncoat.  
As much hold of his word as a wet eel by the tail.  
As light as the Queen's groat.  
Sorrow is soon forgotten.  
A woman's mind, and winter-wind change oft.   

Multa novit vulpes verùm echinus unum magnum.  
Simia non capitur laqueo.

Anima nunc huc, nunc fluctuat illuc.  
Astutam rapido servas sub pectore vulpem.  
Polypi caput.  
Si leonina pellis non satis est, vulpina assuenda est.  
Saxum volutum non obducitur musco.  
Euripus homo.  
Cavendum ab eo qui semel imposuit.  
Statua viatores omnes intuens.  
Proteo mutabilior.  
Chamaeleonte mutabilior  
Ex se fingit velut araneus.  
Quod mutuavit natura repetit.  
Quod commodavit fortuna tollet.  
Quod paravit virtus retinebis.  
Africa semper aliquid apportat novi.  
Favor nobilium favor mobilium.  
Aliud stans aliud sedens loquitur.  
Romae Tybur amo ventosus—  
Caudâ tenet anguillam.  
Modò palliatus, modò togatus.  
Lachrymâ nil citius arescit.  
Mulieris animus.

Quibus nec ara neque fides.  
Admirabiles in nectendis machinis Aegyptii.    

Inculpatus.  

Avoid occasions of evil.  
The best cart may overthrow.  
Every man hath his faults.  
'Tis a good kin, that none do amiss in.  
I cry you mercy I took you for a joined stool.  
A right honest man.  
Great men's faults are never small.   

Qui timet ignem, fumum fugiat.  
Nec malum nec frontem.  
Nemo sine crimine vivit.  
Antehac te cornua habere putavi.  
Incoctum generoso pectus honesto.  
Aurum colophonium.  
Alauda non est sine crista.  
Massilienses mores.  
Involuntarium veniâ dignum.    

Indecorum.  

It becomes him not.  
It becomes you as a cartsaddle doth a cow.   

Simia in purpurâ.  
Bos ephippia—  
— Vide Absurda.    

In deliciis.  

Change of pasture makes fat caves.  
He fares well of other men's purses.  
A man may have too much of his mother's blessing.  
Spare the rod and spoil the child.  
Meat, drink and money, a fiddler's life  
Gardens of pleasure.   

Porcellus Acarnanius.  
Meliteus catulus.  
— Nocet indulgentia matrum.  
Must albus.  
Tibicinis vitam vivis.  
Adonidis horti.    

Indeprehensos'.  

Who's the fool now.  
It's good to hold the ass by th'bridle.  
I desire no plainer proof.  
Take this for a taste.  
I smell a rat.  
The deed shows itself.  
Confess and be hanged.  
Often goes the pitcher to the well, but at last it comes broken home.  
The light is naught for sore eyes.   

Folio ficulneo tenes anguillam.  
Decipula murem cepit.  
Crimine ab uno disce omnes.  
Hydrus in dolio.  
Tempus omnia revelat.  
In saltu uno duos apros capere.    

Indiligentia.  

You go not handsomely to work.  
When the cats away the mice may play.  
Let the black sheep keep the white.  
If 'twere a bear 'twould bite you.  
A man must keep dogs and bark himself.   

Phani ostium.  
Arator nisi incurvus praevaricatur.  
Ovium nullus est usus si pastor abest.  
Primoribus labiis degustare.  
Pulmo prius venisset.    

Industriae.  

Where bees are there is honey.  
Use the means and God will give the blessing.  
He that gapeth until he be said.  
Well may he gape until he be dead.  
No man proves famous but by labour.  
Every man for himself, and God for us all.  
Look for your love, buy for your money.  
'Twill not quite for cost.  
Many strokes fell great oaks.  
You try all ways to th' wood.  
You can have no more of a cat but her skin.  
The mistress eye feeds the capon.  
The nearer the bone the sweeter is the flesh.  
The deeper the sweeter.  
He that will not work will want.  
No milne no meal.  
Sweet is the fruit of labour.   

Artem quaevis alit terra.  
Manum admoventi fortuna est imploranda.  
Nemo casu bonus, discenda est virtus.  
Proba est materia, probum si adhibeas artificem.

Cum Minerva manum quoque move.  
Lutum nisi tundatur non fit urceus.  
Ignavis precibus fortuna repugnat.  
Expiatis bona contingunt.  
Si bovem non possis, asinum agas.  
Nemo invitus fit eruditus  
Quod natura negat labor praebet.  
Materiam superabit opus  
Multis ictibus dejicitur quercus.  
Omnem moves lapidem.  
Qui sentit commodum sentire debet & onus.  
Ultra posse non est esse.  
Vigilantibus & non dormientibus jura subveniunt.  
Doctrinae radix amara, fructus vero dulcis.  
Neque mel neque apes.  
Qui vitat molam vitat farinam.  
Optimum obsonium labor senectuti.  
Serere ne dubites.  
Nocturnâ versare manu versare diurnâ.

To rob Peter and pay Paul.

Infamia.  

He thac hath an ill name is half hanged.   

Famam qui perdidit nihil habet ultra quod perdat.    

Infortunii sive exitii.  

There's no fence for ill fortune.  
A moat may choke a man.  
A man may sooner fall than rise.  
If I come a begging to your door, put a stone in my poke.  
God sends good luck and God sends bad.  
He is set under beggar's bush.  
If you be a man pity me.  
In a poor condition, to be pitied of an enemy.  
Where ever a man dwell he shall be sure to have a thorne-bush near his door.  
The black ox has trodon's foot.  
All the world cannot save him.  
Born to great misery.  
Born under an unlucky planet.  
You must eat a peck of ashes ere you die.  
The properor man the worse luck.  
Ill luck to come at the end of a shot, and beginning of a fray.  
Mischief's come by th' pound, but go away by ounces.  
Like ill weather sorrow comes unsent for.  
A man hath many enemies when his back is to the wall.  
Where the hedge is lowest, commonly men leap over.  
You make a rod for your own tail.  
Wedding and hanging go both by destiny.  
He's undone like an oyster.  
A dog hath his day.  
An unlucky fellow.  
He hath eaten a snake.  
Infinite are men's evils.  
It is misery enough to have once been happy.  
What's worse than ill luck?  
They have load enough.  
The thunderbolt hath but his clap.

Inevitabile fatum.

Ingenii malicia, & institutio.  

'Tis bad cloth will take no colour.  
To cast oil into the fire, is not the way to quench it.  
Timely crooked is the tree, that good cambrill will be.  
men's manners make their fortunes.  
He is now in making or marring.  
How can the foal amble when the mare trots?  
Ill weeds grow apace.  
Every man's nose will not make a shooing horn.  
'Tis soon sharp will be a thorn.  
A fair naught. Better fed than taught.  
A resty horse must have a sharp spur.  
Better to hang then to hold.  
Nurture is above nature.  
The master's eye makes the horse fat.  
A good king a great jewel.  
He's now better to be sold, than he was before to be given.  
A great lubber with little wit.  
One good Lordship is worth all his manners.  
An unhappy boy may make a good man.  
Many a ragged colt makes a good horse.  
A scald man's head is soon broken.  
Better unborn than untaught.  
Best to bend while 'tis a twig.  
Black will take no other hue.  
A man may lead a horse to th'water, but he can't make him drink.  
Grace and good manners makes a man.  
That which is bred i'th' bone, will never out of the flesh.  
'Tis hard making a horn of an apes tale.  
It's hard to make a silk purse of a sow's ear.  
Cat after kind.  
It comes by kind, it costs him nought.  
He is life-less that is fault-less.  
Cloth shapes, meat maintains, but manners make a man.  
If he doth not well here, he will do well no where.   

Lignum tortum haud unquam rectum.  
A teneris consuescere multum est.  
— Argillâ quidvis imitaberis udâ.  
Naturae sequitur semina quisque suae.  
Neglectis urenda filix innascitur agris.  
E squilla non nascitur rosa.  
Pardus maculas non deponit.  
Malum ferrum malus gladius.  
Veteris servat vestigia formae.  
Sus magis in coeno gaudet quam fonte sereno.  
Ovium nulla utilitas si canis abest.  
Arcadicum germen.  
Quo semel est imbuta recens servabit odorem testa diu.  
Non est in medico semper relevetur ut aeger.  
Aethiops non candescit.  
Consuetudo est altera natura.  
Lupus pilum mutat, non ingenium.  
Ex quovis ligno non fit Mercurius.  
Naturam expellas furca licèt, usque recurrit.  
Omnibus malis punicis inest granum putre.  
Vita sine literismors est.  
Quem Cos non nutrit, illum nec Aegyptus.    

Ingratitudo.  

'Tis dangerous to feed an others man's dog.  
Eaten bread is forgotten.  
I can not live to sell my ware for words.  
When I lend I am his friend, when I ask I am unkind.  
All's lost that's put in a rivendish.  
Is this the thanks I have for my labour?  
So I am served for my good will.  
Old cattles breed not.  
Ill far that bird that picks out the dams eye.  
Fair words butter no parsnips.  
Save a thief from the gallows and he will cut your throat.  
He hath bred a bird to pick out his own eyes.  
To kiss a man's wife, or wipe his knife is a thankless office.  
It's lost that's done to an old man and young child.  
You'st have his muck for his meat.  
What should be done with an old wife, but make gunpowder of her.  
It's a had bird defiles her own nest.  
A graceless child borne in an unlucky hour.  
Every day worse & worse.  
We are never content.  
Fish are cast away, that are cast into dry ponds.  
The common horse is worst shed.  
Claw a churl by the tail and he will bewray your hand.  
White silver draws black lines.  
When I have thatched his house, he would throw me down.  
You can call a man no worse than unthankful.   

Alis luporum catulos.  
Ne verba pro farinis.  
Perit quod facis ingrato.  
Serpentem in sinu foves.  
Hirundines sub eodem tecto nè habeas.

Nemo benè merenti bovem immolavit praeter Pariam.  
Aries alituram rependit.  
Maledicta glossa quae corrumpit textum.  
Pertuso dolio nihil infunde.  
Pro meritis malè tractarunt Agamemnona Graii.  
Pasce canes qui te lanient catulosque luporum.  
In senem nè quod collocaris beneficium.  
Solum stercus remanet in cribro.  
Simul & misertum est & interiit gratia.  
Nostis non hostis.  
In patrios minxit cineres.  
Res superioris anni semper meliores.  
Equus suo defraudatus pabulo ignavus.  
Rota plaustri malè uncta stridet.  
Qui volucrem nutrit pro munere stercus habebit.  
Mulus lactantem petit calcibus.  
Omnia dixeris ingratum si dixeris.    

Ingrata ob vetustatem.  

As good out of th' world as out o'ch' fashion.  
As old as Cale-hill.  
An old sack asks much patching.   

Piscis nequam est nisi recens.  
Antiquiora diphtherâ loqueris.  
Antiquior quam chaos aut Saturni tempora.  
Cum Euandri matre loqui.    

Initium laudatum.  

Praise a fair day at night.  
The fairest rose at last is withered.  
Well begun is half done.  
The first step is as good as half over.  
Timely blossom timely bear.  
he's over shoes at first step.  
'Tis soon sharp will be a thorn.  
One may see day at a little hole.  
'Tis not good praising a ford till a man be over.  
A fair day is mother of a storm.   

Primùm Aegina optimos pueros alit.  
Dimidium facti qui bene coepit habet.

Ex nudo pacto non oritur actio.  
Ab ipsâ vestâ.  
Primùm Mars in filiis laudatus est.    

Injustitiae.  

He'll play at small games, rather than sit out.  
No right at Rome.  
Little thiefs are hanged, but great ones escape.  
Some may better steal a horse, than others look over the hedge.  
The weakest go toth' walls.  
Men leap over where the hedge is lowest.  
Extremity of right is wrong.  
Might overcomes right.  
Be sure to ask enough.   

Stateram ne transgrediaris.  
Lucrum malum, aequale dispendio.  
Bruta fulmina.  
Dat veniam corvis, vexat censura columbas.

'Tis ill being under the physicians hands.   

Herculana scabies.  
Ipsa senectus morbus est.  
Umbris macilentior.  
Qui vivit medicè vivit miserè.  
Amarius helleboro.    

Insidiae.  

You must not think to eat me up without salt.  
Harm watch harm catch  
As full of mischief as an egg of meat.  
'Tis good to see an enemy before we feel him.   

Canis ad cibum.  
Oportet omnibus Corydalis.  
Cuniculis oppugnare.  
Pulchrè fallit vulpem.  
Equus Trojanus.  
Magis nocent insidiae quae latent.  
Leo in lustris.  
More leonis favus mellis.    

Instans.  

At your heels.  
Men now alive can tell us.   

Ante pedes.  
Praesentia atque viva.    

Institutio.  

Breeding is all in all.   

— Ingenuas didicisse fideliter artes  
Emollit mores.  
— Vide Ingenii malitia.    

Intemperantia & libido.  

He hath a colts toots in's head.  
We long for what we should not love.  
We lick our lips after other lettuce.  
Feast are the Physician's harvest Christmas  
Young wenches make old wrenches.  
Give a child till he crave, and a dog till his tail wave, and you'st have a fair dog and a foul child.   

Myconius vicinus.  
Tibicinis vitam vivis.

Prostat & in quaestu pro meretrice sedet.  
Vino somnoque sepulti.  
A voluptatibus superari extrema inscitia est.    

Intempestiva.  

He's a fond chapman that comes after the fair.  
Little he can do and 'tis out of season too.  
Too much of one thing is good for nothing.  
Soon ripe soon rotten.  
To make a bad thing worse.   

Intempestiva benevolentia nihil à simultate differt.  
In crastinum seria.  
Orestis fomnium narras.  
Caprarius in aestu.  
Aestate penulam deteris.  
Nihil hoc ad jus.  
Nocent & frugibus imbres.  
Quod festis netur nihilari saepe videtur.  
Mense Maio nubunt malae.  
Cum nullus sit morbus nulla medela opus.  
Oleo ignem extinguere.  
Aliud agendo interdum malè agitur.

Mentam belli tempore nec serito nec metito.  
Rosam quae praeterierit nè quaeras iterum.  
Quid de pusillis magna prooemia?  
Tragoedias in nugis agere.  
Clodius accusat moechos.  
Deploratis vulneribus manus admovere.  
Grande seni onus imponere.    

Internecio.  

'Tis an hard battle where none 'scape.  
Undone, horse and man.  
He's blown up.  
Over shoes over boots.   

Sanguinolenta pugna, unde nemo fugit.  
Ne bolus quidem relictus.  
Perdere naulum.  
Cum cane simul & lorum  
Omitte vatem.    

Invidia & aemulatio.  

There is no man is content.  
One beggar bideth woe, another by the door should go.  
He that shows his purse longs to be rid of it.  
He will neither do nor let do.  
He will neither find nor grind.  
He will not take from his left side to give to his right.  
'Tis better being envied then pitied.  
Envy shoots at the fairest  
You'd have his head under your girdle.  
Fare folk far best.  
Ill will never spoke well.  
All are not thiefs that dogs bark at.  
He may bear all his friends on his back.  
Envy can abide no excellency.   

Unicum arbustum haud alit duos erythacos.  
Optat ephippia bos piger, optat arare caballus.  
Figulus figulo invidet, & fabro faber.  
Esurienti ne occurras.  
Expertes invidentiae Musarum fores.  
Canis in praesepi.  
Edentulus vescentium dentibus invideat.  
Rumpantur ut ilia Codro.  
Dum canis os rodit socium quem diligit odit.  
jactantiae comes invidia.  
Molestum est ferre invidiam sed multò molestius nihil habere invidendum.  
Invidia virtutis comes.  
Fertilior seges est alienis semper in arvis.  
Vicinumque pecus grandius uber habet.  
Laudaret faciem livor quoque.  
Livor summa petit.  
Vivis fama negatur.  
Fumus pulchriorem sequitur.    

Ira.  

A little pot soon hot.  
He chafes like an Apothecary.  
He is horn-mad.  
He's but a word and a blow.  
Pluck in your horns.  
Too hasty to make a parish-Clerke.  
Never speak to a fasting man.  
Anger edgeth valour.  
When meat is in, anger is out.  
He looks as he would look through me.  
Rancour sticks long by th' ribs.  
Take not that to your heart, which they set at their heels.  
Too hot to hold.  
He frieth in his own grease  
He is fire and tow.  
An angry man never wants woe.  
If you be angry without cause, you must be pleased without a mends.   

Lucernan accendere possit  
Mordet labrum & fraenum.  
Oestro percitus.

Iracundiam qui vincit, hostem vincit maximum.  
Vox non hominem sonat.  
Fames & mora bilem in nasum conciunt.

If that the course be fair, again and again quoth Bunny to his bear.  
Never weary of that which is good.

Bis ac ter quod pulchrum    

Iteratus error.  

He harpeth on that string, that makes no good music.  
Evensong and morne-song all in one tune.  
Had I witted, was a fool.   

Ridetur chordâ qui semper aberrat eâdem.  
Ad eundem lapidem iterum offendere.  
Insipientis est dicere non putâram.  
Non licet bis in bello peccare.  
Vulpes non iterum capitur laqueo.    

judicandi rectè, secus.  

You may know by hi● looks what porridge he likes.  
Every bird is known by his feather.  
A workman is known by his tools.  
He knows chalk from cheese.  
He knows which side his bread is buttered on.  
The matter itself will lie for neither of us both.  
No fire without some smoke.  
A scabbed horse can't abide the comb.  
The greatest crabs are not all the best.  
To him that hath lost his taste, sweet is sour.  
No man must be his own judge.  
As the fool thinks, so the bell chinks.  
The law must rule us and not we the law.  
Wink and choose.  
As the fool sings, so he thinks the bell rings.  
Every thing is as 'tis taken.  
Young men think old men fools, but old men know, that young men be fools—  
You'll not believe he's bald till you see his brains.  
Jealousy is no judge— nor suspicion prose.  
One swallow makes not summer.  
Peep I see a knave.  
Miss-understanding brings lies to town.  
Hear all. One tale's good till another be told.

justitiae.  

Do as you would be done to.  
Reward and punishment are the walls of a city.  
Even reckoning makes long friends.  
Foolish pity mars a city.  
We must live according to the Law.  
The better day, the better deed.  
Set the saddle on the right horse.  
New Lords new Laws.  
Neither hold with the hare, nor run with the hound.  
I'll will not make flesh of one, and fish of the other.  
Own is own at reckonings end.  
He that hires the horse must ride i'th' saddle.  
Pardon makes offenders.  
Extremity of law is extremity of wrong.  
The Sun is comfortable.  
I will not take from my left side to give to my right.  
Once paid and never craved.  
First poise, and then punish.

juventa.  

Any young thing is pretty.  
Youth will have its swing.  
There's no wood so green but it will set itself on fire.  
Youth must not have its will.  
Take no counsel of green heads.   

Juventa viribus pollet.  
Cum parvula est, bona videtur spina.  
Homines adolescentuli imperiti rerum.  
Cereus in vitium—

Always be doing.  
Without pains, no gains.  
Harvest follows seedtime.

Serere nè dubites.  
Par sit fortuna labori.    

Lacessentis.  

He sends you a challenge.  
I'll take you a peg lower.  
'Tis evil waking of a sleeping dog.  
You fray an old knave with a bugbear.  
'Twould make a cat speak  
He'll cut your comb.  
To dare him into the field.  
You rub a galled horse o'th' back.  
It's ill jesting with edged tools.  
Meddle with your match.   

Arietem immittit.  
Noli irritare crabrones.

Temulentus dormiens non est excitandus.  
A vipera morsum culpas.    

Laetitia, tristitia.  

‛ Tidings make men glad or sad.  
He looks moodily.  
He makes all fair weather abroad.  
As long lives a merry man as a sad.  
●Tis merry when gossips meet.  
God send you joy, for sorrow will come fast enough.  
They may laugh that win.  
Good to be merry & wise.  
Concealed comforts are the sweetest.  
Look blithe upon it.  
Mirth without measure is madness.  
To laugh in is sleeve.  
A dram of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.  
As merry as mice in malt.  
As glad as fowl of a fair day.  
A lightning before death.

Let me spit in your mouth.  
Not only but also— or he hath won the spurs.  
Highly to praise a thing of naught.

Libenter, & Invitè.  

With as good will as e'er boy came from school.  
'Tis against the hair.  
I am with child till you tell me—  
I stand upon thorns.  
A willing heart performs its part.  
It makes me scratch where it itcheth not.  
With as good will as the bear goes to th' stake.  
He sits upon thorns.   

Obviis ulnis.  
Accepit & glebam erro.  
Volenti non fit injuria.    

Liberalitas.  

Happy man happy dole.  
Where every hand fleeceth, the sheep goes naked.  
Scholars are kindhearted.  
One beggar's enough at a door.  
Give, Gave was a good man.  
Charitable men lose nothing.  
He hath the palsy in his hand.  
All's not gain that's put in the purse.  
A man may take too much of a free horse.  
Great gifts are from great men.

Good children are the parents joy.  
'Tis a bad child shames the father.   

Et hi sunt gemmae meae.  
Heroum filii noxae.    

Libertas veritas.  

Too much liberty spoils all.  
Liberty makes thiefs.  
Liberty is a peerless pearl.  
As plain as the nose on a man's face.  
No man loves his fetters, though made of gold.  
he's in Cobs pound.  
Well may the cat wink when her eyes are out.  
An ape is never merry, when his clog is at his heels.  
No misery to imprisonment.  
Make your enemy your friend.   

Licentia sumus omnes deteriores.

Ad cribrum dicta.  
In cavea non canit luscinia.  
In vino veritas.  
Libero lecto nihil jucundius.  
Emendus cui impar es.

Fama prodit omnia.  
Tempus omnium explorator.  
Oportet mendacem esse memorem.    

Lites.  

Two dogs strive for a bone, and the third runs away with it.  
While thiefs fall out true men come by their goods.   

Nimis altercando veritas amittitur.  
Accipitres pugnant, dulcè loquuntur aves.    

Longaevitas.  

He has eaten many a Christmass-pie.  
Life is sweet.  
As many lives as a cat.  
He hopes to see a goose graze on your head.  
More favour lusty youth than crooked age.  
Old young, and old long.  
He that lives longest must fetch his wood furthest.  
Every thing is worse for wearing.   

Multorum festorum Jovis glandes comedit.

Viri senis Astaphis calvaria.  
Maturè fias senex.  
Vivum cadaver. Epiminedeum corium.  
Sexagenarios de ponte dejicere.  
Vitiat lapidem longum tempus.  
In sola Sparta expedit senescere.  
Viro seni maxillae baculus.    

Lucrum ex scelere.  

'Tis good fishing in troubled waters.  
Ill got, ill spent.  
Ill gotten goods thrive not to the third heir.  
He never sweat for what he hath.  
He cares not how he hath it, so he may but get it.  
It's shame to steal, but a greater shame to bring again.  
Stolen goods thrive accordingly.  
After a great getter comes a great spender.  
He buys at the fair and sells at home.  
He cares not who loseth so he but wins.  
As common as Coleman-hedge.  
If every fowl had his feather, then—  
He can hog a weather.  
Steal the fat and sew him up again.  
Stolen water is sweet.  
He has made many a white hedge black stolen linen.  
Many means to get money.  
Nothing's good but what is gainful.   

Usurae nauticae.  
Malum lucrum aequale dispendia.  
De malè quaesitis non gaudet tertius haeres.  
Sub aliena arbore fructum colligit.  
E flamma cibum petit.  
Omnes lucri cupidi.  
Non habet eventus sordida praeda bonos.  
Si vultur es expecta cadaver.  
Qui iste fluvius quem non recipiat mare.  
Solem mercede praestare.  
Dulce pomum cum abest custos.  
Argentaneae illecebrae.  
Nil placet sine fructu.    

Ludus, lusus.  

Some sport is sauce to pains.  
Change of pasture makes fat calves.   

Interpone tuis—  
Otia corpus alunt.    

Luxus & Mollities.  

Wine makes old wives wenches.  
They praise them for their gay coats.  
Lay not churl upon gentleman.  
A wanton.  
A mu●ky-sweet-fellow.  
Fat paunches and lean pates.  
He is better fed then taught.  
Young wenches make old wrinches.  
Take away fuel, take away flame.  
Sup Simon, here's good broth.  
No feast to a churls.   

Vinum etiam senem vel nolentem saltare compellit.  
Laudant ut pueri pavenem.  
Post vina, nè potes mera.  
Catella melitaea.  
Totam spirat Arabiam.  
Pinguis venter, macer intellectus.  
Aries cornibus lasciviens  
Gula plures quam gladius perimit.  
Sapientia vino obumbratur.  
Sine Cerere & Baccho friget Venus.  
Venture auribus caret.  
Bos in stabulo.  
Anima, sui, pro sale, datur.  
Coronam quidem gestans, caetera siti perditus.  
Thymo nemo vescitur ubi adest caro.    

Magistratus.  

They that make laws must not brecke laws.  
Authority shows what a man is.  
New Lords new laws.  
Men use to do as their betters.  
Give a slave a rod & he'll beat his master.  
Governors are for the common good.   

Audiat rex quod praecipit lex: Rex, viva lex.  
Magistratus virum indicat.  
Nihil difficilius quàm bene imperare.  
Qualis rex talis grex.  
Fasces falces.  
Cui plus licet quàm par est, vult plus quàm ●●cet.  
Non sibi sed populo—    

Magnifica promissa.  

Court holy-water.  
A young courtier an old beggar.  
The greatest barkers are not the so est briers.  
He feeds two doves with one bean.  
Fair promises.  
He promiseth like a merchant, but pays like a m●n of war.  
A constrained promise is better broken than kept.  
Men promise more than they will perform.  
All's not paid that's promised.  
Promise is a due debt.  
Good words are good cheap.  
Words are wind.  
All promises are either broken or kept.  
Say well, and do well end with one letter.  
Say well is good, but do well is better.  
Great promises and small performances.  
The taste of the kitchen is better than the smell.   

Incantatione quavis efficacius.  
Multa fidem promissa levant.  
Canes timidi vehementius latrant.  
Res mala res stulta dare nil, promittere multa.  
Pygmaeum imponere Colosso.  
Charitis pollicitationes.  
Votum extortum non est servandum.  
Pollicitis dives quilibet esse potest.  
Promissa praestanda.  
Malim qui det salutem quam qui dicat.  
Aureus in Olympia stato.  
Aureos montes polliceri.  
Album panem pinso tibi.  
Alybantis hospitis munera.  
Ego faciam omnia more Nicostrati.  
Sponde noxa praesto est.    

Magni momenti.  

There's more in it than you are ware of.  
The marrowbone of the matter.  
If you toil so for trash, what would you do for treasure?  
Many sands will sink a ship.  
Great weights hang on small wires.  
We play not for shooe-buckles.  
No trivial matter.   

Quaestio non est triobolaris.  
Plus est in recessu quàm in fronte pollicetur.  
●i tanti vitrum quanti margaritam?  
Multis ictibus dejicitur quercus.  
A cane non magno saepe tenetur aper.  
Hoc certamen non est de oleastro.  
Non de stillicidiis aut aquae pluviis.  
Dignum propter quod vadimonium deseratur.    

Maledicentia & obtrectatio.  

Dogs that bark eagerly fare off, dare not come near to bite.  
Better go by your enemy's grave than 's gate.  
Do as the most do, and fewest will speak evil of thee.  
Evil will, never spoke well.  
Some may better steal a horse than others look on.  
Dog's bark before they bite.  
He wounds with words— killing words.  
I'll not be your spitting-place.  
Who can hold men's tongues from talking.  
Mother, call her whore, fi●st.  
The kilne calls the oven bu●n●-hearth.  
He finds fault with others, and does worse himself.   

Canina eloquentia.  
Dentata charta.  
Mortui non mordene.  
Bellum cum Protogene mortuo gerere.  
Eripere maledictum ex trivio.  
Stultorum thesaurus maledicentia.  
Lapides loquitur.  
Mortuis non convitiandum.  
Infixo aculeo fugere.  
Archilochum teris.  
Carpit citius aliquis quam imitabitur.    

Mali retaliatio.  

You beat him that will not bear it.  
In dock out nettle.  
He went away with a flea in his ear.  
As you brew so shall you drink.  
The stone you strew will fall on your own head.  
Harm watch harm catch.   

Neoptolemi vindicta.  
Clavum clavo pellere.  
Caedimus inque vicem praebemus crura sagittis.  
Quid dentem dente juvabit rodere?  
In te ista cudetur faba.  
Dedi malum & accepi.  
Dixerit insanum qui me totidem audiet.    

Malitia.  

Malice is mindful.  
Malice hurts itself most.  
Vice is like ice; slippery.   

Malitia memor est.  
Manet alta ment repostum.  
Malus sibi pessimus.  
Omne in praecipiti vitium—    

Malum conduplicatum aut renovatum.  

One mischief i'th' neck of another.  
Hail brings frost i'th' tail  
Put not fire to flax— powder to pitch.  
If you make it not better, make it not worse.  
He's gotten out of th' mire and fall'n into th' river.  
You wash out ink with ink.  
In evil there is odds.  
To leave boy's play and fall to blow point.  
You have your hands full.  
Out of the frying-pan into the fire.  
Sore upon sore is not a salve.  
Bring not an old house on your own head.  
The Devil on Donne's back.   

Nulla calamitas sola.  
Oleum camino addere.  
Ignem igni nè addas.  
Lutum luto purgas.  
Crambe bis cocta mors est.  
Hydram secas.  
Lis litem scrit.  
E sar●agine in ignem.  
De fumo ad flammam.  
Fallacia alia aliam trudit  
Praestat uni malo obnoxium esse quam duobus.  
Decumanimalorun fluctus  
Magnus liber magnum malum.  
Ex I●io me ducis.    

Malum vertens bene.  

I have lost all, and found myself.  
Many a foul morning hath a fair day.  
A hard beginning hath a good end.  
After a storm comes fair weather.  
After a storm comes a calm.  
After black clouds fair weather.  
He danceth well to whom fortune pipeth.  
He that hath a good harvest m●y be content with som●●histles.  
He stole a goose and stuck down a feather.  
When thiefs fall out, true men come by their goods  
Fowl in the cradle proves fair in the saddle.  
There's no tree but bears some fruit.  
When trading fails, to turn tippler.   

Nunc bene navigavi cum ●aufragium feci.  
Belium haudquaquam lachrymosum.  
Flebile principium melior fortuna sequetur.  
De parva scintilla magnum saepe excitatur in●endium.  
E ●ragico Comicum drama.  
Ping●e solum lassat, sed juvat ipse labor.  
Amisit urbem & pugionem recepit.  
Accipitres pugnant, dulcè loquuntur aves.  
Etiam è vite rubus nascitur.  
In Paro frigida quidem est aqua, sed pulchrae mulieres.  
Aurum ex stercore colligendum.  
Monachum facit desperatio.    

Malum assuetum.  

Every man knows where his own shoe wringeth him.  
They that be in hell ween there is no other heaven.  
Better once a mischief than ever an inconvenience.  
Better kiss a knave, than be troubled with him.  
Once an use, and ever a custom.  
Show me a liar, and I'll show you a thief.  
'Tis a bad cause that none dare speak in.  
To know the worst, is good.  
They are used to it.   

Dies adimit aegritudinem.  
Priusquam in medulla obriguerit.  
Rei non bonae consuetudo pessima est  
Usus est altera natura.  
Qui mendax idem furax.  
Nullum mendacium sine teste.  
Nota res mala, optima.  
Nux asinus mulier nil rectè faciunt si verbera cessent.    

Malum accersitum aut retortum.  

Self do, self have.  
You stand in your own light.  
A boisterous horse must have a boisterous bridle.  
Desperate c●ts must have desperate cures.  
It is a bad bird that desileth h●● own nest.  
Aswine too fat is cause of h●● own death.  
Out of God's blessing into th' wa●me Su●.  
Every bird must hatch her own eggs.  
His will is c●use of h●● h●● own woe.  
He shall have as good as he brings.  
He t●kes great care how to shame himself.  
He that st●●kes with the sword shall be beaten with the scabbard.  
He fi●es his own nest.  
Harm watch harm catch  
Hot sup ho● swallow.  
He hath made an halter to b●●ng himself.  
The more you stir it the worse it stinks.  
Gall a knave and he will grease you.  
Short pleasure long lamen●  
Touch a g●ll'd horse o'th' back and he'll kick  
You bring an old house on your head.  
He hath brought his hogs to a Banbury market.  
They that wear black● must hang a brush at their back.  
He laughs ill that laughs himself to death.  
To get a rod for his own breech.  
Once an use and ever a custom.  
The same knife cuts both bread and the finger.  
Better sit still than rise up and fall.  
He hath tied a knot with his tongue, that he can't untie with all his teeth.  
Short pleasure long repent.   

Fontibus apros, floribus Austrum.  
Malo nodo malus quaerendus cuneus.  
Turdus ipse sibi malum cacat.  
Qui sibi nequam, cui bonus?  
Faecem bibat qui vinum bibit.  
Sagittâ quam ipse fecit ipsusmet periit sagittarius.  
Pennis suis feriri, grave.  
Iliensis tragoedi●s conscripsit.  
Soccos quibus ipse indutus est confecit.  
Optima nomina non appellando fi●nt mala.  
Messes proprias ●rit.  
Suo sibi hunc jugulo gladio.  
Incidit in foveam quam fecit.  
Bis interimitur qui suis armis perit.  
Suo ipsius laqueo captus est.  
Movere Camarinam.  
Scandit fatalis machina muros.  
Cornutam bestiam petis.  
Suo ipsius indicio sorex periit.  
Captantes capimur.  
Sibi paret malum qui alteri parat.  
Chius dominum emit.  
Carpathius leporem accersit.  
Mala attrehens ad se ut Caecia● nubes.  
Qui sentit commodum sentire debet & onus.  
Dares Entellum provocat.  
Canis saeviens in lapidem.  
Colubrum in sinu fovere.  
Prudens in flammam mitto manum.  
Bellerophontis literas.  
Faber compedes quas fecit ipse gestat.    

Malum bene vitatum. Malum male vitatum.  

He that will put away his wife 'cause she farts, and his horse 'cause he stumbles, shall be badly horsed, and worse wived.  
The high way is never about.  
Warned folks may live.  
'Tis better lost than found.  
Up with't if it be but a Devil of two year old.  
Better lose the saddle than the horse.  
That which the eye sees not the heart rues not.  
Better eye out than always aching.  
'Tis time to stir when others stink.  
He that would no evils do.  
Must sh●n all things that longs thereto  
Out of the frying-pan into the fire.   

Fumum fugiens in ignem incidit.  
Extra publicam viam ne deflectas.  
Praemonitus, praemunitus.  
Quod invenisse pigeat ne quaeras.  
Cujus pudebit pigeat.  
Mala tantum audita minus ad animum accedunt.  
Flamma fumo proxima.  
Incidit in Scyllam cupiens vitare Charybdim.    

Malum immedicabile.  

Better to hang than to hold.  
'Tis ill healing an old sore.  
Brackley breed, better to hang then to feed.  
No pain to the gout and toothache.  
Fire and water have no mercy.  
The tears of age are lamentable.  
Better eye out, then always aching.  
Rouse not an angry dog.   

Chironium vulnus.  
Quod initio temporis non valet tractu temporis non convalescit.  
Mala senium accelerant.  
Insanus appensis pellibus non curatur.  
Unda vorax & ignis edax.  
Romae quoque homines moriuntur.  
Tonitru imbrem antecedit.  
Immedicabile vulnus ense recidendum est.  
Poëtam nemo sibi offensum reddat.    

Malus vicinus.  

You must ask your neighbour if you shall live in peace.  
To make bold with his neighbours.  
The wine is the masters, the goodness is the drawers.  
A good neighbour a good morrow.   

Aliquid mali propter vi● cinum malum.  
Alienam quercum excutere.  
Vinum est domini, sed bonitas est pincernae.  
Si juxta claudun habites, subclaudicare disces.  
Cui bonus est vicinus felix illucet dies.    

Mansuetudo.  

Small rain lays great winds.  
Good men are pitiful.  
Doves are harmless.  
As meek as a Lamb.  
He will touch no gears.  
Fair words hurt not the mouth.  
Speak fair and think what you will.  
To fright a bird is not the w●y to catch her.  
Great strokes, make not best music  
Patience passeth science.  
The rough ner is not the best catcher of birds.  
Good words cool more than cold water.  
Many words more hurt than swords.   

Mactatâ veniet lenior hostiâ.  
Ipsis Charitibus humanior.  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.

Ne libâris Diis, ex vitibus non amputatis.  
Magni custos clementia mundi.  
Auricula infima mollio●.    

Medicus. Medicina.  

The sore arm must have the scarf, the sore leg the bed.  
Physicians are costly visiters.  
Sickness soaks the purse.  
They that would live ever must wash milk from the liver.  
A good Surgeon must have a Lady's hand, and a Lion's heart.   

Pharmaca nascenti sunt adhibenda malo.  
Manus Poeonia.  
Pro quartana non pulsatur campana.    

Mediocria tuta.  

Farr from court and far from care.  
Poor folk far the best.  
Poorly sit and richly warm.  
Better sit still than rise and fall.  
Not too high for the pie, not too low for the crow  
Measure is a treasure▪  
Not Jack out of doors nor yet gentleman.  
Canterbury is the highe● rack, but Winchester's the better manger.  
A sm●ll pack becomes a little pedlar.  
Fire and water be good servants, but had masters.  
Measure is a merry mean—  
Travail but toil not.   

Procul à Jove & procul à fulmine.  
Qui jacet in terram, non habet unde cadat.  
Medium tenuere beati.  
Neque primus neque imus.  
Laudato ingentia rura, exiguum colito.  
Omne nimium vertitur in vitium.    

Memoria.  

He can remember any thing.  
We forget not what grieves us.  
The remembrance of past sorrow is joyful.  
I may forgive, but not forget.  
Men will talk on't when we be dead, do what we can.   

Memor supra Simonidem.  
Ubi dolor ibi digitus.  
Jucundi anteacti labores.  
Vulneratus semper plagam contrectat.  
Manet altâ ment repôstum.  
Mortui linguis non imperant.    

Mendacium.  

Liars are not believed when they speak truth.   

Mendax Cilix non habet fidem.    

Mercatura.  

Venture not all in one bottom.   

Ne uni navi facultates.    

Meretrix.  

Thiefs and whores meet at the gallows.  
As common as a barber's chair.  
A painted quean.  
A halfpenny hackney.   

Scribatur portis meretrix est janua mortis.  
Lecythum habet in malis.  
Quadrantaria Clytaemnestra.    

Metus ex conscientia.  

A thief hides himself in a bush.  
A galled horse will not abide the comb.  
Where no fault is there needs no pardon.  
Every wind is ill, to a broken ship.  
Feared men be fearful.   

Lupus aquilam fugit.  
Conscientia mille testes.  
Verecundus metui comes est pudor.  
Necesse est multos ti●●●at quem multi timent.    

Metus poenae.  

Ill fishing before the net.  
Green wounds will not be touched.  
Men m●ke the wolf worse than he is.  
More feared than hurt.  
He cannot love me that is afraid of me.  
A cursed dog must be tied short.  
Awe makes Dun draw.  
His breech makes buttons.   

Funiculum fugiunt miniatum.  
Manum de tabula.  
Quot servos habemus totidem habemus hostes.  
Absque baculo ne ingreditor.  
Samiorum mala metuis.    

Minantis.  

He useth hail, when he hath no thunder.  
You dare as well take a bear by the tooth.  
You dare as well take a dead man by the toe.  
Bring you the Devil and I'll bring out his dam.  
All this wind shakes no corn.  
Bugbears to scare babes.  
Threatened folks live long.  
If words will not serve blows shall.  
There's lightning lightly before thunder.  
You'll be sent to a stronger house than ever your father built for you.  
You'll scratch a beggar one day.  
His threats are no thunderbolts.  
Dog's bark before they bite.  
As sure as the coats on your back.  
I'll watch you a good turn  
I'll give you as good as you bring.  
There's rods in piss for you  
He says more than he will do.  
You'd as good run to Rome with a mortar on your head.   

Et meum telum cuspidem habet acuminatam.  
Uti nutrices lamiam.  
Si non es verbo, verbere motus eris.  
Minarum strepitus, asinorum crepitus.  
Minis occidit.  
Si tibi machaera est, & nobis urbina est donis.  
Tonat sine fulmine.    

Mira nova.  

Ill news comes too soon.  
A wonder lasts but nine days.  
A new broom sweeps clean.  
He hits the bird in the eye.  
Fresh fish and new come guests smell by they be three days old.   

Semper Africa novi aliquid apportat.  
Agamemnonii putei.  
Cornicum oculos configere.  
Magna civitas, magna solitudo.  
Post tres saepe dies piscis vilescit & hospes.  
Piscis nequam nisi recens.    

Miseria.  

Once to have been happy is misery enough.  
Piety may need pity.   

Miseria est fuisse felicem  
Misericordia fortunam▪ non causam spectat.    

Mixta.  

God's plenty.  
Fire is as hurtful, as healthful.  
No Sunshine but hath some shadow.  
Every bean hath his black.  
Whose fire is it that smokes not?  
He that bites on every weed must needs light on poison.   

Copiae cornu.  
Ubi mel ibi fel.  
Armat spina rosas, mella legunt apes.  
Ubi uber ibi tuber.  
Terra serpentes & ciconias fert.  
Spinosum aliquid in prato.    

Modestia.  

Cut your coat according to your cloth.  
Stretch your arm no further than your sleeve will reach.  
Be content with your condition.  
I have not so bad neighbours.  
Who that may not as they will, must will as they may.  
Climb not too high for fear of falling.  
The best fish swim near the bottom.  
A man must not roam above his reach.  
None of the worst.  
The more humble the more honourable.  
A modest man.  
The low stake stands long.  
Building is chargeable.  
Poorly sit, and richly warm.  
Under a ragged coat, lies wisdom.  
Spend as you get.  
Live within compass.   

Oculos in pectus.  
Messe tenus propria vivendum.  
Nosce teipsum.  
Tuo te pede metire.  
Tecum habita ut noris quàm sit tibi curta supellex.  
Quod sis esse velis.  
Nolo mihi suffaenus esse.  
Quae supra nos nihil ad nos.  
Si res tuae tibi non sufficiant, tu fac ut iis sufficias.  
Noli altum sapere.  
Oportet agrum imbecilliorem esse quàm agricolam.  
Inter primos & imos.  
Neque pugnas narrat neque cicatrices suas ostentat.  
Xenocrate modestior.  
Efficimus pro nostris opibus maenia.  
Dimidium plus toto.  
Sub sordido palliolo latet sapientia.  
Jucundissima navigatio juxta terram.  
Mel summis digitis delibandum.  
Sumptus censum ne superet.  
Disce modum servare alieno disce perîclo.    

Modus.  

A bow long bend, at last waxeth weak.  
Too much of one thing is good for nothing.  
Rub and a good cast.  
A mean is best.  
Little fuel little flame.  
Measure is a merry mean—  
Enough is as good as a feast.  
Content is a kingdom.  
Too must honesty did never man harm.  
A great shoe will not fit a little man.  
Extremity of right is wrong.  
There's a difference between staring & stark blind.   

Arcus nimium tensus rumpitur.  
Omne nimium vertitur in vitium.  
Ne quid nimis.  
Modus legem dat donationi.  
Satis est quod sufficit.  
Mens mihi pro regno.  
Nulla satietas rerum ●onestarum.  
Fac deceat quodcunque facis.  
Summum jus summa injuria.  
Est inter Tanaim quiddam socerum que Viselli.    

Molesti, intolerabiles.  

Set a beggar on horseback, and he'll ride to the Devil.  
Set a beggar on horseback, and he'll ride post.  
That fool spoils all.  
Not to be handled with a pair of tongues.  
Things are as they be taken.  
The Devil is good when he is pleased.  
He is very peevish.   

Asperius nihil est humili cùm surgit.  
Davus interturbat omnia  
Improbitas muscae.  
Totus echinus asper.  
Quos non tolerent centum Aegyptii.  
Longo ex itinere etiam palea oneri est.  
Totus est in fermento.    

Mora.  

— Vide Tarditatem.    

Morbus.  
   

Mori, mors.  

The longest day must have its night.  
The longest day must have an end.  
Nothing so sure as death.  
He that ●ookes for dead men's shoes may long go barefoot.  
The Sexton is a fatal musician.  
Young men may die, old men must die.  
Every soxe must pay his own skin to the flayer.  
As men live so they die.  
He that lives well never dies amiss.  
They die well that live well.  
Every man must have something to bring him to his end.  
You die with honour.  
Two dismal days, the day of death and the day of doom.  
As soon goes the lambskin to the market as the old ewes.  
All's alike at th' latter day, a bag of gold and wisp of hay.  
Be the day never so long, at last comes even song.  
No matter how but whether.  
Buried men bite not.  
When the serpent is dead the poison hurts not.  
So hares may pull dead lions by the bea●d.  
'Tis an easy matter to kiss a man's tail when his breeches be down.  
Rich and poor, old and young must die.  
No man is happy before his death.   

Stat sua cuique dies.  
Testamentum est morte confirmatum.  
Et pace & bello cunctis stat terminus aevi.  
Natura nobis commorandi diversorium, non habitandi locum dedit  
Mors omnibus communis.  
Mortem optare malum timere pejus.  
Ne Dii quidem à morte liberant.  
Lex universa, nasci & mori—  
Non misere quisquam qui bene vixit obit.  
Natalis est aeterni postremus dies.  
Contra vim mortis non est medicamen in hortis.  
Omnia sunt hominum tenui pendentia filo.  
Aeneae magni dextrâ cadis.  
Ut discas vivere, disce mori.  
Mista senum ac juvenum densantur funera.  
Intervallis distinguimur, exitu aequamur.  
Alata aetas.  
Non refert quâ sed quò.  
Mortui non mordent.  
Mortuo leoni vel lepores insultant.  
Pulvis & umbra sumus.  
Somnus mors est brevis, mors somnus longus.  
Nullum faeva caput Proserpina fugit.  
Nemo foelix ante obitum.    

Morum gravitas. Morum contagio.  

Where the horse rubb's some hair is left behind.  
The best of a bad nest.  
He is liveless that is faultless.  
One ill weed mars a whole po● of porridge.  
One scabbed sheep mars a whole flock.  
The mother would never seek her daughter i'th' oven, had not herself been there first.  
Hackney mistress hackney maid.  
How can the foal amble when both horse and mare trots?  
A corrupt breath steineth a clear glass.  
One rotten apple corrupts those, that lie near it.  
Mind other men, but most yourself.  
New Lords new laws.  
A little leaven soureth all.   

Oscitante uno deinde oscitat & alter.  
Ne gustâris quibus nigra est cauda.  
Omnibus galeritis oportet cristam inesse.  
Malus animus omnia in malum vertit.  
Neglectis urenda filix innascitur agris.  
Minutula pluvia imbrem facit.  
Morbida sola pecus totum corrumpit ovile.  
Morbida sola pecus inficit omne pecus.  
Patrum in natos abeunt cum semine mores.  
Qualis hera talis pedissequa.  
Qualis pater talis filius.  
Coelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt.  
Probitas laudatur & alget.  
Omnium mores, tuos imprimis observato.  
Mobile mutatur semper cum principe vulgus.  
Novus rex, nova lex.  
Uva ab uva livorem ducit.    

Mulier.  

Women be wasps, if angered.  
Without women, we men can't be.  
A nice wife and a back door.  
Oft do make a rich man poor.   

Xantippe altera.  
Nec tecum possum vivere, nec sine te.    

Multi.  

One master in an house is enough.  
One hand in a purse and two in a dish.  
Helter skelter.  
Many hands make light work.  
Never strive against the stream.  
Dangerous to strive against a multitude.  
Where every man is master the world goes to wrack.  
Better one than all.  
A scottish mist which will wet an Englishman to the skin.  
The more the merrier, the fewer the better cheer.  
As cows come to town some good some bad.   

Non una vehit navis.  
Multitudo imperatorum Cariam perdidit.  
Instar apum.  
Multorun manibus grande levatur onus.  
Vir sapiens nunquam direxit brachia contra Torrentem.  
Non curat numerum lupus.  
Multi duces perdidêre Cariam.  
Rex unicus esto.  
Unum pro multis, quàm pro uno multos mori.  
Arenae maris numerum superat.  
Minutae guttulae imbrem pariunt.  
Septem convivium, novem convicium.  
Sagena ex omni piscium genere congregata.    

Mundus.  

The world is naught.   

Mundus immundus.    

Munerum corruptela.  

Empty hands no hawks a●ure.  
Money is the best lawyer.  
A full purse makes the mouth speak.  
Make your enemy a silver bridge to pass over.  
All for ask what will you give me.  
What cannot gold do.  
Cast dust in their eyes.  
He knows on which side his bread is buttered.  
Money is a dangerous bait for soldiers.  
Better kiss a knave than be troubled with him.  
Better have a dog to fawn on us, then to bark, or bite us.  
Gold goes in at any gate, unless't be heavens.  
Greaze a fat sow in the tail.  
A bribe will enter without knocking.  
His purse is his best friend.  
Money never cometh out of season.  
You'st catch fish with a silver hook.  
Fling the dog a bone.   

Vulpes haud corrumpitur muneribus.  
Bos in lingua.  
Lepus leonem trahit aureo laqueo.  
In precio precium est.  
Aurum aperit omnia vel Orci portas.  
Miles legendus non emendus.  
Lupi illum vidêre priores  
Placatur donis Jupiter ipse datis.  
Dorica musa.  
Pecuniae obediunt omnia.  
Argenteis pugna telis—  
Offam Cerber●.    

Munus non munus.  

Pour gold on him and bees never thrive.  
Both pay and pray? that's hard.  
Better to buy than to borrow.  
He that goes a borrowing g●es a sorrowing.  
Margery good-cow gave a good meal, And when she'd done stroked down with her heel●.  
A dish of Dottrells.  
Better to have a dog fawn at a man, than to bite him.  
He hath done me as much good as if he had pissed in my porridge.  
He bid me to roast and beat me with the spit.   

Cyclopis donum.  
Cibus alienis dentibus molitus.  
Emere malo quam rogare.  
Ulla putatis— dona carere dolis Danaûm?  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 
* 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. horum enim munera sunt captationes.  〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  
Calabri hospitis xenia.  
Cùm Delphis sacrificaverit, ipse carnes absumit.  
Labra non palatum rigat.    

Munus aptum aut ineptum.  

The good will is worth acceptance.  
That penny is well spent that saves a groat.  
He hath as much need of it as I have of the cough—  
Too weak a sparr for such a building—  
You kill him with kindness  
A lean fees a fit reward for a lazy clerk.  
Fowl water's good enough to quench fire.  
Draff is good enough for swine.  
I will make my enemy a silver bridge to pass over.  
What cannot gold do?  
In some thing is some savour.   

Dat bene, dat multum, qui dat cum munere vultum.  
— Cito data vilescunt.  
Ranis vinum praeministras.  
Veneri suem immolavit.  
Id maximè decet quemque quod est suum.  
Parva pluvia magnum sedavit ventum.    

Munus boni consulendum.  

Beggar's must not be choosers.  
Look not a given horse i'th' mouth.  
Love will creep where it cannot go.  
Good will is all.  
What's freer than gift?  
Good will and welcome, is your best cheer.  
Better half a loaf than no bread.  
'Tis good to take a good offer.  
Men must do as they are able.   

Si quis dat mannos, ne quaere in dentibus annos.  
Dat pyra dat poma qui non habet aurea dona.  
Voluisse sat est.  
— Super omnia vultus accessêre boni.  
Munerum animus est optimus.  
Si foetura gregem suppleverit, aureus esto.    

Mutandae sententiae.  

There goes two words to a bargain.  
To sing a new song.  
Rather turn than burn.   

Palinodiam canere.  
Consilium in melius commutandum.    

Mutati instituti.  

Leave your fool's babbles.  
Out of God's blessing into the warm sun.  
The cause is altered quoth Ploydon.  
He goes far that never turns.  
He hath sown his wild oats.  
He hath shot his frie.  
Better late than never.  
Either mend or end.  
Confession of a fault is half amends.  
A very turncoat.  
From little good to stark naught.  
Out of the hall into the kitchen.   

Nuces relinquere.  
Pupas Veneri dicare.  
De calcaria in carbonariam.  
Polypi mentem obtiner.  
Praestat recurrere quam malè currere.  
Nunquam sera est ad bonos mores via.  
Crimina nè celes, magna est medicina fateri.  
A Dorio ad Phrygium.  
Chlamydem omni vento vertere.  
Pro eleganti medico malus poeta.  
De toga ad pallium.  
Cras cerdo, hodiè nihil.    

Mutuum.  

He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.  
God send us meat of our own when rich men go to dinner.   

Felix qui nihil debet.  
Miserum est alienâ vivere quadrâ.    

Natura.  

Cat after kind.  
A carrionkite will never be good hawk.  
An ill weed grows with speed.  
Nature is no botcher.  
Nature passeth nurture.  
That which is bred in the bone will never out of the flesh.  
He has it by kind, it costs him nought.  
Father trot mother trot, how can the daughter amble?  
To run against the Bias— clean against the hair.  
Like tree like fruit—   

Piscis semper piscem olet, licèt unguentis oblinas.  
Nunquam rectum tortile ●gnum.  
Naturâ quilibet dives.  
Est naturae vis maxima.  
Piscem natare doces.  
Quo semel est imbuta recens servabit odorem testa diu.  
Mali corvi malum ovum.  
Invitâ Mineruâ—  
Arbor qualis erit talia poma gerit.    

Necessitas.  

Make a virtue of necessity.  
What God will no frost can kill.  
He stands in great need that borrows the Cat-dish.  
Ready at a dead lift.  
Ill egging makes ill begging  
He must needs run whom the Devil drives.  
You can have no more of a cat but her skin.  
Necessity hath no law.  
Needs makes the naked man run.  
He must neither will nor choose.  
Wink at small faults.  
'Tis too late to consult after the conflict.  
Better beg than steal.  
Poor folks are glad of porridge.  
Need makes the old wife troth.  
That which will be shall be.  
I must either do or die.   

Feras non culpes quod vitare nequcas.  
Diomedea necessitas.  
Vocatus atque non vocatus Deus aderit.  
Durum telum necessitas.  
Necessitas non habet legem.  
Venia danda necessitati.  
Certamen non accipit excusationes.  
Viro esurienti necesse est furari.  
Lepori esurienti etiam placentae fici.  
Astra inclinant, sed non urgent.  
Fata viam invenient.  
Fato non repugnandum.  
Necessitas etiam timidos fortes facit.    

Nobilitas.  

Silk and satin make not a gentleman.  
Jack an apes is no gentleman.  
When Adam digged and Evah span, where was then the gentleman?  
Up start a churl that gathered good, from whence did spring our gentle blood.  
Gentility sprang from the pen, or pike.  
Vertue-less gentility is worse than beggary.  
A goose-quill gentleman.  
He's a gentleman that hath gentle conditions.  
Greatness and goodness go not always together.  
A fair bird hath fair feathers.  
He scorns to look so low.   

Generosior Codro.  
Terrae filius.  
Nec patris nomen quidem dicere possit.  
Tempore quo fodiebat Adam, quo nebat & Evah.  
Qui rogo tum princeps? qui generosus erat?  
Qui magnas congessit opes surrexit avaru●.  
Atque hoc principium nobilitatis erat.  
Non gens sed mens.  
Virtus vera nobilitàs.  
Generis virtus nobilitas.  
Virtus gloriam parit.  
Jovis germen.  
Aquila non capit muscas  
Deorum liberi sunt invulnerabiles.  
Nemo suum laudat patrem nisi prospera proles.    

Non solus ille.  

As good as he is, he hath his betters.  
We have many as good as he.  
A knot of good fellows.   

Brasidas quidem vir bonus.  
Multi Mannii Ariciae.  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. Multi bonique.    

Notus.  

Common fame's seldom to blame.  
I know him as well as the beggar his dish.  
Better known than trusted  
Your bells will be rung a great way off.   

Vox populi, vox saepe Dei.  
Intus & in cute.  
Oculorum subdere visu.  
Qui sis fama loquetur anus.    

Nox.  

When candles be out all cats be grey.  
Night-works.   

Nocte latent mendae.  
Clandestina scelera.    

Novitas.  

Every thing's pretty, when 'tis new.  
The newest things, not always truest.  
Spick and span new—  
Bleeding new.  
Ill news is too oft true.  
News like a snowball is more by telling.  
They set a young man's head, on an old man's shoulders.  
New out of the mint.  
You are the first that ever did so.   

Grata novitas.  
Recens ab officina.  
Nihil dictum quod non dictum prius.  
Veteribus ollas novas affigunt ansas.  
Caelaturam olet.  
Nullo exemplo facis.    

Nugalia.  

Very g●e-gawes.  
Not worth the wool of a dog.  
Not worth taking the wall of a dog.  
You run at random, shoot at rovers.  
You fight with your own shadow.  
Proud of a painted sheath.  
It hangs together like a rope of sand.   

Nugae theatri.  
Nugari de sublimibus.  
Post ludos ad seria.  
Asini umbra.  
Absque scopo jacularis.  
De gallo in afinum.    

Nunquam nusquam.  

At latter-Lammas.  
When two Son-dayes fall together.  
At never-mass.  
When our Lady shall have a new son.   

Cum mula pepererit.  
Ad graecas calendas.  
Acessaei luna.  
Cum Nibas coccyssaverit.  
Magno Platonis anno.  
Cum Aesone juvenescere  
Prius unda cum flamma redibit in gratiam.  
Quum plumbum natabit, suberis instar.  
Ubi cervi abjiciunt cornua.    

Nuntius laetus.  

Tidings make either glad or sad.  
We soon believe what we desire.  
Long looked for comes at length.  
What news from court?   

Animus habitat in auribus.  
Refricare cicatricem.  
Vulcanus tibi vaticinatus est.  
Siren amicam nuntiet, apis hospitem.  
Quid tibi Apollo cecinit?  
Immolare Euangelium.    

Nuptiae.  

Marriages were made in heaven.  
First thrive & then wive  
Marriage and hanging go by destiny.  
* Marry with your match▪  
'Tis fit every m●n should be at his own Bridal▪  
Choose for yourself and use for yourself.   

* Si vis nubere, nube pari.  
Deligas quam diligas.    

Obedientia.  
   

Oblivio.  

Thought of no more than doom's day.  
In at one ear and out at another.  
His wits be a woolgathering.  
His heart is on his halfpenny.  
We live by the quick, and not by the dead.  
No sooner dead but forgotten.  
Sorrow is soon forgot.  
Out of sight, and out of mind.  
Seldom seen is soon forgotten.   

Ollae vestigium in cinere turbato.  
Praesens peregrinatur.  
Vivorum oportet meminisse.  
Lachrymâ nil citius arescit.  
Frons occipitio prior.  
Injuriarum remedium est oblivio.  
Proprii nominis oblivisci  
Bibere Mandragoram.  
Rerum irrecuperabilium felix oblivio.    

Obscuritas.  

I know not what you mean.  
Gross darkness.  
An excellent tale and 'twere told in greek.  
A tale of a tub.  
He must be a Doctor at least that reads it.  
It hath neither head nor tail.  
He m●r●s a good matter.  
I understand you as much as the post.  
I will not sell my hen i'th' rain.   

Davus sum, non Oedipus.  
Obscurum per obscurius.  
Cymmeriae tenebrae.  
Ne Apollo quidem intelligat.  
Sine capite fabula.

They that may not as they would, must will as they may.  
All must be as God will.  
Be it better be it worse, he ruled by him that bears the purse.  
We must live by laws—  
It's good having a friend both in heaven and hell.  
Do as the most do, and fewest will speak ill of you.  
Ready to run at every man's whistle.  
— My head is not under every man's girdle.  
I am not every body's dog that whistles.  
Bid me, and do't yourself.  
Better bow than break.  
He that will not be ruled by his own dame, must be ruled by his stepdame.  
Proffered service stinketh.

Occasio.  

Opportunity makes the thief.  
The postern door makes thief and whore.  
The receiver makes the thief.  
Take time while time is, for time will away.  
Early sow, early mow.  
The fair lasts not all the year.  
Christmas lasts not all the year.  
This world will not last always.  
Time and tide tarry on no man.  
Make hay while the sun shineth.  
Strike man while the iron's hot.  
Hold fast while you have it.  
'Tis an easy matter to find a staff to beat a dog.  
When the pig is proffered hold open the poke.  
He that will not when he may, when he would he shall have nay.   

Fenestram aperire.  
Ansam quaerere.  
Matura satio saepe decipit, sera semper mala est.

Occupatio, otium.  

They have their hands full.  
A good husband hath always something to do.  
Idle folks lack no excuses.  
Meat and drink, and leasure's good for work-folkes.  
I have other wool to toze.  
I am better busied.  
The Cat loves fish well, but is loath to wet her foot.  
I have no leisure to hunt the loiterer.  
Let the black sheep look to th'white.  
Standing pools gather filth.  
Sat a while and go a mile.  
'Tis good always to be doing some thing.

Nullum otium servis.  
Liber non est qui non aliquando nihil agit.  
Phydias pacem amat.  
Otia dant vitia.  
Otium fortunas secundas perdidit.  
Malim esse quàm vixisie mortu um.    

Odium.  

He swells like a toad.  
Hate not at the first harm  
Glowing coals sparkle often.  
He loves me as the cat doth mustard.  
He'll never be friends again  
No man cares for him.

After a dream of weddings comes a corpse.  
The better day the better deed.  
Good luck towards.  
My heart leaps for joy.  
He hopes to eat of the goose that grazeth on your grave.  
The shame take you.  
A groaning horse & grunting wife seldom fail the owner.  
'Tis soon sharp that will be a thorn.

Pueri senesque.

Opportunitas.  

It's dangerous to put fire and flax and gunpowder together.  
He that may and will not, when he would he shall not.  
There is a time for all things.  
Every thing hath an ear, and a pitcher has two.  
That may be offered in an hour, which will not come again in seven year.  
'Tis good striking while the iron's hot.  
In pudding time.  
First borne first fed.  
'tis good taking day before us.  
He that means to make a good market of his ware, must watch an opportunity to open his shop.  
Every thing is good in its season.  
Time is tickle.

Paritas in praemiis & poenis.  

Like punishment and equal pain, both key and key hole do sustain.  
As indifferent as between my right hand and my left.  
Every mother's child of you.  
As deep drinketh the goose as the gander.  
Hot sup hot swallow.  
All go to the pot.  
A bit and a knock.  
I'll not make fish of one, and flesh of another.  
As you brew so must you drink.  
Share and share like.   

Tros Tyriúsque mihi nullo discrimine habentur.  
Omnes ad unum.    

Parents liberi.  

None knows the affection of Parents but they that have Children.  
Good Children are the best comforts.  
The Ape kills her young with kindness.  
'tis a wise Child that knows his own father.  
Children are uncertain comforts, but certain cares.  
I will not hold my dish under my child's ladle.  
All that be in the house are not one man's children.  
We love that dear, that cost us dearest.  
It's a dear coll●p that's taken out of the flesh.

Parsimonia.  

'tis not meat for every mouth.  
Two hands in a dish and one in a purse.  
Hard fare makes hungry bellies.  
A poor man's table is soon spread.  
Of saving cometh having.  
Better spare at brim than at bottom.  
Fast and welcome Nell'a Booths medicine.  
Ever spare and never bare.  
He lives beside his means.  
Keep something for a dear year.  
He that saveth his dinner shall have more for his supper.  
Lose not a hog for a half pennyworth oftar.  
Ever spare and ever bare.  
Better a louse i'th' the pot than no flesh at all.  
That groat is ill saved that shames the master.  
He will lick himself whole again.  
He'll bite near.  
Much a do to keep cart on wheels.  
I cannot make both ends meet.  
Little good, is soon spent.  
What the good wife spares the cat eats.  
Better spared than ill spent  
He that hath no head needs no hat.  
A short horse is soon curried.  
As free of his gift as a Jew of his eye.  
Bare walls make giddy housewives.

Paupertas.  

A Beggar can never be bankrupt,  
As bare as a birds arse.  
Want money and want all▪  
A Beggars purse is bottomless.  
He hath never a cross to bless himself with all.  
He dares not show his head for debt.  
You seek a breech of a bare arst man.  
No silver no servant.  
You rob the spittle.  
He that robs a scholar robs twenty men.  
I have neither cow nor kit.  
Poor and proud? fie fie!  
He is come to the staff and the wallet.  
Who can sing so merry a note, as he that cannot change a groat.  
In the Dunstable highway to Needhan & beggary.  
'Tis very hard to shave an egg.  
Poor folks are glad of porridge.  
Little knows the fat Sow, what the lean one means.  
No longer foster, no longer friend.  
No lack to the lack of money.  
He's lodged in Beggar's Inn.  
Well far nought once by the year.  
A broken sleeve holdeth the arm back.  
It is no flying without wings.  
Worth of things is known by th'want.  
Where nought's to be had the King must lose his right.  
To leap at a crust.  
He hath left his purse in his other hose.  
He no sooner earns a penny, but another man hath a purse for'●.  
You can have no more of the Cat but her skin.  
The Devil's not always at a poor man's door.  
As poor as Job.  
He's brought to Beggar's bush.  
No woe to want.  
All his wardrobe is on's back.  
As rich as a new shorn sheep.  
Beggary is a base profession.  
The black Ox treads sore on's toes.  
He hath but from hand to mouth.  
Poverty parts good company.  
Poverty parts friends.  
Where the water's shallow no vessel will ride.  
A Lud-gatebird.

●ony is a Monarch.  
●o penny no Pater noster.   

Pecuniae obediunt omnia.  
In precio precium nunc est—    

Pensatio beneficii vel officii.  

Pay the old score, and fetch on the new.  
Small birds must have meat.  
He that hath some land must have some labour.  
It's an ill dog that's not worth the whistling.  
Set the hare's head against the goose jiblits.  
He that will borrow must pay.  
A pig of your own sow.  
He s●ole a goose and stuck down a feather.  
Mend my wages, and I'll mend my work.  
One good turn requires an other.

You can't do, but you must drop.  
You are a right Englishman  
You cannot tell when a thing is well.  
Do and undo, the day is long enough.  
Every thing has an end, & a pudding two.  
Raise no more spirits than you can conjure down.  
Better never to begin, than never to make an end.  
Better is the last smile, than the first laughter.  
You have spun a fair thread.  
Early up & ne'er the near.  
A man every inch of him.

Perfidiae.  

Neither word nor wax can bind him.  
As much hold of his word, as of a wet Eel by the tail.  
Trust him no further than you can see him.  
An obligation sealed with butter.  
Where the knot is lose, the string slippeth.  
They have neither truth nor honesty in them.  
A knight of the post.  
He may change his baire, but not his heart.  
He's not his word's master.  
As good trust to a rotten post.

Fronti nulla fides.  
Pacem orare, manu praefigere puppibus arma.    

Perplexus.  

We can neither go backward nor forward.  
He knows not which way to turn him.  
He hath both his hands full.  
He's at a loss.— at a stand— at his wit's end.  
He hath work cut out.  
He hath lost himself in a wood.  
He hath as much as he can turn him to.  
In a peck of troubles.  
He is out of his aim.   

Ventus neque manere sinit neque navigare.  
Auribus jupum tenet.

Nec currimus nec remigamus.  
Nec caput nec pedes.

Periculi.  

The fox is fare from his hole.  
It hangs by a thread.  
'Tis ill jesting with edged tools.  
King's have long ears and long arms.  
Raise no more spirits than you can conjure down again.  
'Tis ill fishing before the net.  
It's good sleeping in a whole skin.  
London bridge was made for wise men to go over, and fools to go under.  
Keep the wolf from the door.  
Let him that's cold blow the coal.  
His life is on his lip.  
Betwixt cinque and since.  
Between the hammer and the anvil.  
Betwixt the Devil and the dead sea.  
He'd fain be out os' pain.  
Look to thyself when thy neighbour's house is on fire.  
Misery shows the man what he is.  
He's in my lurch.  
The horse that draws his halter after him is not quite escaped.  
Go forward and fall, go backward and mar all.  
Out of harms— out of gun shot.  
He's wise that can keep himself warm.  
Let him put his finger i'th' fire that needeth.  
He that will sail without danger, must never come upon the main sea.  
It's no safe wading in an unknown water.  
Shunning the smoke he fell into the fire.  
Keep yourself well while you are well.  
Better once a mischief, than ever an inconvenience.  
Take heed what you do.  
Pluck back that foot.  
You are in the same predicament.  
To stand a loof off in a whole skin, and view the dangers others be in.  
That dog fights best that out of danger plays:  
Play with me, and hurt me not.  
He puts his finger into the fire wilfully.  
You pass through pikes.  
He left him in the briers,— or in the lurch.  
I have the horse with the heavy load.  
All hangs on a twine-thread.  
He's a dangerous fellow.  
To make peace with a sword in his hand.  
It is hest to prevent a danger before hand.  
'Tis not good to be always on the dagger hand.

He's a wary fellow.  
A looker on may see more than a gamester.  
The dark is day, the night is noon to God.  
He sees through a milne stone.   

In occipitio oculos gerit.

Perspicuitas.

Will's a good boy when Will's at home.

Will will have his will, though will woe doth win.  
He is more wilful than wise▪  
A till man, a will man.  
Be it good, be it bad, he will maintain it.  
Will is the cause of woe.  
A wilful man never wants woe.

Close fits my shirt, but closer is my skin.  
He thinks his fart as sweet as musk.  
Self-love is a mo●t in every man's eye.  
He thinks all he doth is excellent.  
All his geese are swans  
Near is my petticoat, but nearer is my smock.  
Every ass thinks himself worthy to stand with the King's horses.  
For my peck of malt set the kilne on fire.  
He is all for himself.  
I care but for my time.  
The Cuckoo thinks herself a fix bird.  
He thinks his penny good silver.  
The Crow thinks her own fairest.  
Of kin to the owl, who thinks herself fairest.  
He farts frankincense.  
He'll not lose his jest for his guest, if he be a Jew.  
Every man is wise in his own conceit.

Better one bird i'th' hand, than two i'th' bush.  
I'll not change a cottage in possession, for a kingdom in hope.  
Better to have than to hear of a good thing.  
Let the longer liver take all.  
Possession is eleven points in the Law.  
One bird in hand, worth two i'th' wood.

Aquila in nubibus.  
In aequali jure melior est conditio possidentis.  
Praestat possidere quam persequi.    

Potentes.  

What is hard to God Almighty?  
The great man is the spider, the poor man is the fly.  
Might overcomes right.  
Better to rule than be ruled by the rout.  
'Tis no meddling with our betters.  
The rage of a wild boar is able to spoil more than one wood.  
No striving against the stream.  
Great men are idolised.  
Poor men must pay for't.   

Omnia sunt magnis factu proclivia divis.  
Durum est scribere in eos qui possunt proscribere.  
Quicquid dominatur vim dei habet.  
Nutu ac renutu.  
Preces armatae.  
Annum in mensam contrahit.  
Valet ima summis mutare.  
Ubi Papa, ibi Roma.

Magnates sunt magnetes.  
Domi suae quilibet rex.  
Deo nemo nocere potest.

Capra nondum peperit, hoedus autem ludit in tectis.  
Ocream capiti, tibiae galeam adaptare.    

Praeter spem bonum aut malum.  

He was recovered very strangely.  
All will do well, the old man danceth.  
It does not fadge.  
You trust to a broken staff.  
A man far from's good, is nigh his harm.  
'Tis good to for cast, or fear the worst.  
The best will save itself.  
Essex styles, Kentish miles, Norfolk wiles, many men beguiles.  
You beat the bush, and another gets the bird.  
An old Cat laps as much milk as a young.  
A blind man may catch a hare.  
You have the hap.   

Coturnix Herculem.  
Omnia secunda, saltat senex.  
Homo homini deus.  
In caducum parietem inclinas.  
Grata superveniet quae non sperabitur hora.  
Deus ex improviso apparens.  
Ex ocio negotium.

Sine sacris haereditas.    

Principium.  

Beware beginnings.  
Well begun is half way through.   

Principiis obsta.  
Principium dimidium totius.    

Probrum, gloria.  

Common fame is seldom too blame.  
Who drives an ass, and leads a whore,  
Hath pain, and sorrow evermore.  
A name for nought.  
His ears may burn.  
He loundge's as a dog that had lost his tail.  
A man of no account.   

Gloriosum & apud pestilentes.  
Non omnino temere est quod vulgò dictitant.  
Sutorium atramentum.

Quem fortuna pinxerit.  
Cur non suspendis te?  
Cerite, cera dignus.    

Proclivitas.  

As fast as hops.  
Down the hill goes merrily.  
'Tis easier to fall than rise.  
That which is naught is soon learned.  
It's easier to descend than ascend.  
He dwells on the hill-side.  
Touch and take.  
A man is sooner hurt than healed.  
To spur a free horse.   

Quam facilè vulpes pyrum comedit?  
Cereus in vitium flecti: vir cere●.  
Currentem incitare.  
Calcar addere currenti.  
Compendiaria res improbitas.  
In planitiem equum.  
Unâ scuticâ omnes impellit.  
Sphaera per praecipitium.  
Suade lupis ut insaniant.  
Titio ad idnem.

A wise son of a wit less fire.  
A black hen lays a white egg.  
He has sown all his wild oats.  
The Priest forgets he was ever clerk.  
Fowl in the cradle, fair in the saddle.  
Cloudy mornings turn to clear evenings.  
From the bar to the bench.  
In space cometh grace.  
Out of rags into robes.  
What would you more?  
Sir I have paid for't.   

Ab asinis ad boves transcendere.  
Dives factus jám desiit gaudere lente.

Profusio.  

Thrift and he are at a fray.  
A sparing father, and a spending son.  
A fool and his money is soon parted.  
He selleth cheaper than ever he bought.  
He wears a whole Lordship on's back.  
That which is gotten over the Devils back, is spent under his belly.  
To bring a noble to nine pence,— or no pence.  
He's too free to befat.  
Fly brass—  
Too late to spare when all is spent.  
Little good is soon spent.  
Make not or●s of good hay.  
When thrift is in town, he is in the field.  
Live within compass.  
He would spend Gods cope if he had it.  
He will whittle an oak to a butcher prick.  
He spent Michaelmas rend in Midsummer moon.  
He will soon bring an Abbey to a grange.  
Spend and God will send.  
They that have much butter, may lay it thick on their bread.  
Great spenders are bad lender's.  
Cut your coat according to your cloth.  
Give him no more than you would have him spend.   

Promus magis quàm condus.  
Malè partum malè perit.  
Largitio non habet fundum.  
Sera in fundo parsimonia  
Cupidinum crumena porri folio vincta est.

Immolare boves.  
Cui multum est piperis, etiam oleribus immiscet.  
Nunquam lagenam crateri impone.    

Prognosticandi.  

Winter thunder, is old men's wonder.  
Pale Moon doth rain, red Moon doth blow.  
White Moon doth neither rain nor snow.  
An evening red and a morning grey,  
Are sure signs of affair day.  
We shall have rain, the fleas bite.  
When wind's i'th' South, 'tis i'th' raines mouth.  
No weather's ill, when the wind's still.  
He that witted what would be dear.  
Need be a merchant but one year.

Promissa. Vide Magnifica.   

Proprii commodi studium.  

Every man for himself, but God for us all.  
He will look to one.  
Home's homely be't never so poor.  
An ill Commonwealths man.  
I care but for my own time.  
Near is my petticoat, but nearer is my smock.  
Every miller draws water to his own milne.  
He that hires the horse must ride first.  
When I die the world dies with me.  
Look that your own turn first be served.  
The Cat knows whose lips she licks well enough.  
We are not borne for ourselves.   

Omnes sibi melius esse malint quam alteri.  
Sibi bonus, aliis malus.  
Domus amica domus optima.

He may ill run that cannot go.  
A broken sleeve holdeth the arm back.  
Poor folks must be glad of porridge.

Learn to creep before you go.  
The horse next the mill carries all the grist.  
A man's country is where he does well.  
Go further and far worse   

Ut possumus, quando ut volumus non licet.  
Si non adsunt carnes, taricho contentos esse oportet.  
Auloedus sit qui citharoedus esse non possit.

Providentia.  

God never sendeth mouths, but he sendeth meat.   

Dominus providebit.    

Prudentia.  

I''s good to have a hatch before the door.  
He that has his eyes in's head will look about him.  
Look before you leap.  
He hath an eye behind him.  
By wisdom peace, by peace plenty.  
A close mouth catcheth no flies.  
As good kiss a knave as be troubled with him.  
Please the good and care not.  
Old birds are not caught with chaff.  
You have not a fool in hand.  
Wise men are caught in wiles.  
No man is wise at all times  
You●e be wiser now you're wed.  
Good takeheed, doth surely speed.  
He is an ill cook that can't lick his own fingers.  
He that hath a staff may beat away a knave.  
Time and experience makes men wise.  
Can't you far well but you must cry roast-meat?  
He that provides not a cloak before the rain, may chance to be wet to his cost.  
You'll needs be a man before your time.  
A wise mariner can fit his sails to every wind.

A maiden— blush.  
Pens may blot, but they cannot blush.

Give God thy heart, the world thy wealth.  
Be ashamed of nothing but of sin.  
Shame take him that shame thinketh.  
Never be ashamed to eat your meat.  
He hath lost what he borrowed of me.  
It's a bad cloth that will take no colour.  
Blushing is virtues die.  
In the forehead and the eye, the lecture of the mind doth lie.

Temporibus servire decet.    

Serum remedium, aut tempestivum.  

After meat comes mustard.  
When the friar's beaten, then comes James.  
God sends cold after clothes.  
A green wound is soon healed.  
An old dog will learn no tricks.  
An old sack must have much mending.  
Old men go to school.  
He takes physic before he be sick.  
'tis too late to repent to morrow.  
It's ill healing an old sore.  
We must live by the quick not by the dead.  
It's too late to spare, when the bottoms bare.  
When the steed is stolen, then shut the stable door.  
Keep the wolf from the door.  
When the child is christened every man will be Godfather.   

Post bellum auxilium.

Rem peractam stultus intelligit.  
Sero sapiunt Phryges.  
Consilium post facta, imber post tempora frugum.    

Servitus.  

Benefits bind.  
He that is beholden to another man, is not himself.  
A good apprentice will be a good master.  
He that makes himself a sheep shall be eaten of the wolf.  
He would fain be out of his prentisship:  
He can ill be master, that never was scholar.  
If the master bid go, the servant must run.  
They that are bound must obey.  
He bears about him signs of subjection.  
What will not a man do for his liberty?  
Bridle passions, and be yourself a free man.  
First serve God and then serve me.   

Argentum accepi, imperium vendidi.  
Accepi beneficium, libertatem perdidi.

Froenum mordet.  
Leo chordulâ vinctus.

Silentium.  

Silence never did man barm.  
Keep counsel first yourself.

As kind as a kite.  
As plain as a pack-staffe.  
As idle as a dog.  
Like to like, as a scabbed horse, to an old dike.  
As you brew so must you drink.  
A slut is good enough to make a sloven porridge.  
Names and natures do often agree.  
As welcome as water into a ship.  
As the tree is, so is the fruit.  
As pliable as wax.  
As like him as if he had been spit out of his mouth.  
As black as pitch.  
As black as a crow— as a coat.  
Like wood like arrows.  
Like carpenter like chips.  
Like to like quoth the Devil to the collier.  
Birds of a feather fly together.  
A scabbed horse is good enough for a scabbed squire.  
Like lips like lettuce.  
As well as a beggar knows his dish.  
As white as milk.  
As soft as silk—  
Such a welcome such a farewell.  
Trin tran, like master like man.  
As merry as cup and can.  
A whelp of the same litter.  
As blind as a beetle.  
As sore weepeth the child afternoon as a forenoon.  
Like cover like cup.  
One had as good eat the Devili as the broth he is sod in.

Simulatio & dissimulatio.  

He that winks with one eye, and looks with the other.  
God i'th' hand, Devil i'th' heart.  
Fair words and foul deeds deceive many.  
When the Fox preacheth, beware your geese.  
Seldom lies the Devil dead in a dike.  
Sift him grain by grain, you'll find him chaff.  
A fair hood on a false head.  
Fire i'the one hand, and water i'the other.  
I'll be holy, I marry will I  
They look one way and row another.  
See me, and see me not.  
He's as false as the Devil.

He's all alone. No bodies with him.  
The town's no Grange.  
Eagles fly alone.  
The more the merrier, the fewer the hetter cheer.  
They are but sheep, that flock together.  
He has neither child nor chicken.  
Better be alone, than in bad company.

Scyrharum solitudo.  
Nullum animal quod animal.  
Pauca cum aliis, tecum multa.    

Solicitudo.  

A pound of care will not pay an ounce of debt.  
A knave and a fool never take thought.  
Never grieve for that you cannot help.  
Thought breaks the heart.  
Away with care, till care-day come.  
Much coin much care.  
More sour than sweet.  
Hang care.  
Small birds must have meat.  
Care will kill a cat.   

Tantali lapis.  
Arctum annulum nè gestato.  
Cura facit canos.  
Quasi thesaurum draco.  
Dormit cum luscinia dormit.  
In via nè seces ligna.  
Flamma sine Vulcano.  
Plus aloes quàm melli● habet.  
Secludite curas.  
Etiam capillus unus habet umbram suam.  
Teredo ossium cor sollicitum.    

Somnolentia.  

Sleep is sweet.  
You take a nap of a night long.  
You take your ease in your Inn.  
Go to bed with the lamb, and rise with the lark.  
When the belly is full, the bones would be at rest.  
Ever sick of th' slothful guise.  
Loath to bed and loath to rise.   

Endymionis somnum dormis.  
Neque quantum lusciniae dormiunt.  
Ultra Epimenidem dormis.    

Sordes.  

Better clout than all out.  
He lives from hand to mouth.  
To pinch his carcase.  
Very curmudgeons.  
So we get chink, we'll bear with stink.  
God loves no pride, nor you cleanliness.

He stinks like a poll-cat.  
Miserable carls.

 Spes pertinax—  

There's some life in't yet.  
'Tis day still, while the Sun shines.  
Long looked for comes at last.  
Your cake's dough.  
Still he fisheth that catches one.  
All's not lost that is in danger.  
He hoped well that got the cat with two tails.  
Hope well and have well.  
You count your chickens ere they be hatched.  
Thus they do that look for living men's shoes.  
But for hope the heart would burst.  
After a storm comes a calm.  
After black clouds fair weather,  
I hope to see him an honest man.  
Give it not for gone.  
You dreamt of a dry summer.  
It is hope holds up his chin.  
It's never long that comes at last.  
If the sky fall we shall catch larks.  
Though he be bitten, he is not quite eaten.  
To milk a bull or hope in vain.   

Nondum dierumomnium sol occidit.  
In te omnis domus inclinata recumbit.  
Spes animo regias concipit, aethera ment.  
Semper Agricola in novum annum dives.  
Dum spiro spero.  
Somnia cuncta canum panes, ego somnio piscem.  
Mopso Nisa datur, quid non speremus amantes?  
Post malam segetem serendum est.  
Ante lentem augesollam.  
Foedum est & mansisse diu vacuumque redisse.  
Vivere spe vidi, qui moriturus erat.  
Informes hyemes reducit Jupiter, idem submovet.  
Aegroto dum anima est spes est.  
Adhuc coelum volvitur.  
Qui amant ipsi sibi somnia fingunt.  
Somnians felix est & miser vigil.  
Spes servat afflictos.  
Dum nondum in nervo telum.  
Quid si coelum ruat?  
Coelum menses & annos efficere non desiit.  
Spe Croesoditior, inopia Iro pauperior.  
Ex Tantali horto fructus quaerere.    

Stultitia, Stultus.  
   

In Stupidos.  

He's better with a rake than with a fork.  
He can't see wood for trees.  
The worst part is within.  
He'll never be wise.  
When 〈◊〉 head takes all 〈…〉 is the worse.  
〈◊〉 errs no more than Graten stockfish.  
If●●t head little wit.  
〈◊〉 were a bear 'twould bite him.  
When thrifts i'th' field then he's i'th' town.  
A leaden head and wooden wit.  
Bush natural more hair than wit.  
As dull as a Dutchman.  
Fool had never less wit in a year.   

Nihil differs à Cherophonte.

Minus habes mentis quam Dithyramborum poetae.  
Vervecea statua.  
Arcadicum germen.  
Auris Batava.  
Vaginae plures quàm gladii.    

Stupidi.  

A blockhead.  
A wittols wink—  
Fools tie knots, and wise men lose them.  
The man hath no more than he hath need of.  
Fools set stools for wise men to break their shins.  
A mute among the vowels.  
Drawgh is for swine.  
The dasnell Dawcock sits among the Doctors.  
He knows not B from a battledore.  
He's better with a rake than a fork.  
The Vicar of fools be your Ghostly father.  
A very sot, a flock pate.  
Go ride the ass.  
A very nobody—  
A ninny hammer.  
Good for nothing.  
As wise as a woodcock.  
The fool scratch you.  
He hath not learned the Christ-cross row.  
His lips hang in his light.  
Must a man tell you a tale and find you ears?  
He looks as if butter would not melt in's mouth.  
You have a little wit, and it doth you good sometimes.  
If 'twere a bear 'twould bite you.  
You wise acre? your wit's a wool gathering.  
Fair feathers but foul feet.  
Bush natural, more hair than wit.  
The King of fools.  
The veriest asses hide their ears most.  
He stirs no more than a beaten stock fish.  
A head like a sugarloaf.  
He goes stooping and loundging, and seeks that he never had.  
Children and fools have merry lives.  
He hath neither wit nor lack.   

Asinus ad lyram,  
Non sus quivis hoc sciet.  
Rectè valere, & sapere duo vitae bona sunt.  
Nihil ab Elephanto differt.  
Sui nihil cum amaricino.  
Graculus inter Musas.  
Neque natare neque literas novit.  
Navis scopulum deprecatur.  
Naviget Anticyras.  
Barbarus ex trivio.  
Nusquam in Consiliis, nusquam numerandus in armis.  
Salsedo non inest illi.  
Antronius asinus.  
Nè Aesopum quidem ●r●visti.  
Surdo fabulam.  
Hippocratis liberis cedit.  
Qui quàm minimum sapit, quàm minimè vivit.  
Ingenium ubi es?  
O quale caput & cerebrum non habet.  
Tam fatuus ut etiam regnare possit.  
Mentem non habet qui non ir●scitur.  
Argutum caput.  
Bulbos quaerit.  
Caput hoc ventosa cucurbita quaerat.  
Nec genium habet nec ingenium.

The poor subject pays for all.   

Delirant Reges, plectuntur Achivi.    

Subitum exitium.  

This is your last and uttermost.  
This is all you can do.  
A good beginning a good ending.  
An old ●hiefe desires a new halier.  
He is not long lived.  
A weakly man.  
The properer man the worse l●ck.  
When he had lost the horse, he threw away his saddle.   

Eadem tibi & Pythia & Delia.  
Muris interitus.  
Occidit ei Sol cum adhuc esset dies.  
Ad perditam securim abjicere manubrium.    

Subiti interventus.  

Sooner than you be ware of.  
He took him napping, as Moss did his mare.  
Many things happen suddenly and unlook● for.  
He is here you talked on.   

Priusquàm gallus iterum cecinerit.  
Mercurius supervenit.  
Multa cadunt inter calicem supremaque labra.  
Lupus in fabula.    

Sumptuosa.  

He that buys a house ready wrought,  
Hath many a tile and pin, for nought.  
With top and top gallant.  
Building is chargeable,  
Rich men may have what they will, do all point vice.   

Hipparchi murus.  
Saliares dapes.  
Aureo piscari hamo.  
In beato omnia beata.    

Superbia.  

Pride will have a fall.  
As proud come behind as go before.—   

— Vicina superbia damno.  
Diogenes conculcat Platonis superbiam.  
Felix insolens infelix.    

Surditas.  

You but spend your breath in vain.  
Who so deaf a● he that will not hear?  
Must a man tell you a tale, and find you ears?  
Born in a milne.  
As deaf as a door nail.  
As good speak to a post.   

Hylam inclamas.  
Nulli sunt pejus surdi quam qui audire nolunt.  
Surdior Toronaeo portu.    

Taciturnitas, Laudata & illaudata.  

He cannot hold.  
A fool's bolt is soon shot.  
They know on whose errand they go.  
Far well, and say nothing.  
The still sow eats all the draff.  
He's wise that can hold his peace.  
Wink and be wise.  
He hath lost his tongue.  
If my shirt knew my secrets I'd burn it.  
Hear and see and say nothing.  
See me, and see me not.  
Silence is consent.  
Maiden's must be seen and not be heard.  
Little said soon amended.  
Fields have eyes, and woods have ears.  
Wide ears and a short tongue.  
He hath not a word to cast at a dog.  
As mute as a fish.  
He's blank.  
The fewer the better fare.  
Whist, and catch a mouse.  
A man may hold his tongue in an ill time.  
Little pitchers have ears.   

Plenus est rimarum, hac atque illac perfluit.  
Grues lapidem deglutientes.  
Qui tacitus procedit viâ, hujus ego dux fuero.  
Quod facere aggrederis noli praedicare.  
Digito compesce labellum▪  
Fraenum in lingua.  
Lupi Moerin videre priores.  
Quod taceri vis, ipse prior taceas.  
Quod scis nescias.  
Qui tacet consentire videtur.  
Mulierem ornat silentium.

Magis mutus quàm piscis,  
Rana seriphia.  
Reddidit Harpocrates.  
Amyclas perdidit silentium.  
Nè interula quidem arcani conscia.  
Si tacent satis dicunt.    

Taedium ex iteratione.  

As welcome as water into a ship.  
I bore him all the while on my back.  
What again? quoth Paul when his wife made him cuckold the second time.  
You play the cuckoo.  
Tom-scull.  
Tell me what I know not.  
Rip not up old sores.  
Make not a long harvest of little corn.   

Longum prooemium, audiendi Cupido.  
Iterum atque itcrum ad Pythum via.  
Mel satietatem gignit.  
Eandem canis cantilenam.  
Crambe bis posita, mors.  
Et novi, & teneo, jam narras ista scienti.  
Nè malorum refrices memoriam.  
Quid de rebus minutis texis poemata?    

Tarditatis & cunctationis.  

To't again, no body comes.  
They win by wearing their enemies out.  
Long-looked for comes at length.  
Delay breeds danger.  
Delays are the death of suitors.  
He that comes last maketh all fast.  
First comes first served.  
At leisure as flax groweth.  
He that goes softly goes safely.  
Soft fire maketh sweet malt.  
Soft and far for fear of falling.  
Soft and fair goes fair in a day.  
You come after, with salt and spoons.  
While the grass groweth, the horse starveth.  
He liveth upon other men's death.  
Soon enough if well enough.  
You'll see the last man borne.  
Slow and sure.  
As softly as foot can fall.  
He creeps like a snail.  
Fair and softly.  
Forbearance is no quittance.  
A day after the fair like Tom Long the carrier.  
You must kiss the post.  
Rome was not built on a day.  
They spend the day in tricking and triumphing.   

Nemo nos insequitur.  
Romanus sedendo vincit.  
Tardi venêre bubulci.

Mysorum ultimus navigat.  
Dum moliuntur dum comuntur annus est.  
Odiosa res Circensibus pompa.    

Temeritas.  

Venture not all in one bottom.  
He that hath but one eye must take heed how he lose it.  
First try, and then trust.  
Take heeds a good read.  
Be well advised.  
'Tis ill putting a knife into a mad man's hand.  
Habanab.  
All's fish that comes to net.  
Who so bold as blind Bayard.  
But a word and a blow.   

Oportet remum ducere qui didicit.  
Praecipitis consilii assecta poenitentia.  
Omnis jacta est alea.  
Nil obiter.  
Quam quisque norit artem, exerceat.  
Andabatae.  
Illotis pedibus ingredi.  
Aedilitatem gerit sine populi suffragio.  
Inscitia confidentiam parit.  
Quicquid in buccam venerit.    

Temperantia.  

A temperate man.  
Sir John Barly-corne is no body with him.  
Be merry and wise.  
A feast without wine.  
More for bread than beer.  
Enough's as good as a feast.  
Lick honey with your little-finger.  
A light supper keeps clean sheets.  
To live upon air.  
They drinkelesse wine than water.   

Zenone moderatior.  
Agrestibus oleribus victitat.  
In loculis, poculis, oculis, moderare tibi.  
Musicus apparatus.  
Cereris sacrificium.  
Sicci homines.  
Mel summis digitis delibandum.  
Est virtus placitis abstinuisse bonis.  
Bonum servat castellum qui custodit corpus suum.  
Vento vivere.  
Dionysium aequore mergendum.    

Tempestiva, Tempus.  

Every thing is good in its season.  
Summer hath no fellow.  
Yule's good on Yule eeven.  
Christmas comes but once a year.  
A come of March dust is worth a King's ransom.  
Michaelmas rot comes never i'th' pot.  
Sow beams i'th' mud, and they'll grow like wood.  
First come, first served.  
To day me, to morrow thee.  
April showers, make May flowers.  
A May flood never did good.  
An April flood carrieth away the frog and her brood.  
They that go to their corn in May, may come weeping away:  
They that go in June, may come back with a merry tune.  
There's a time for all things.  
A Dog hath his day.  
Time trieth all things.  
Time is Tom telltruth.  
The more thy years, the nearer thy grave.  
Time flieth away without delay.  
No man can call again yesterday.  
Time lost we cannot win.  
Time and Tide tarry on no man.  
Time is precious.  
Take time while time serveth, for time will away.  
Nothing is our own, but time only.  
Time weareth out fancies.  
In space comes grace.  
Every thing is worse for wearing.  
Time hath teeth.  
A mouse in time may bite in two a cable.  
A fine morning to catch herrings on New-market heath.   

Mensibus in quibus r, iis ostrea sunt bona semper.  
Dum virent genua.  
Nunc leguminum messis.  
Boeta tum hyeme tum aestate bona.  
Tibi ipse Calendas indicito.  
Audi chelidonem.  
Tempora temporibus succedunt tristia laetis.  
Stat sua cuique dies.  
Volat irreparabile tempus.  
Solius temporis honesta parsimonia.  
Omnia aliena, tempu● tan●um nostrum est.  
Dies adimit aegritudinem.  
Tempus edax rerum.  
Mane Nebulosum.    

Tenacitas.  

To cut a large shive, of another man's loaf.  
He cuts large thongs of other men's leather.  
He can hold fast while he hath it.  
He never will have enough.

Avarus nisi cum moritur nil recti facit.  
Ferens non fert.  
Itidem ut Acheronti.    

Testis.  

One eyewitness, is better than two heare-so's?   

Plus valet oculatus testis quàm decem auriti.—    

Timiditas.  

More afraid than hurt.  
They dare not be seen in it, whist.  
He is big enough, but a craven.  
More scared than hurt.  
They that are afraid of wounds, must not come near a battle.  
A white livered Captain for all his brazen face.  
He will save one.  
He is afraid of the wagging of every straw.  
To kill a ma with acushion.  
A coward often changeth colour.  
He trembles like an aspen leaf.  
He that makes himself a sheep shall be eaten of the wolf.  
A scald, or cut fears the coldest waters.  
To offer his fist, and show a fair pair of heels.  
An excellent soldier, he lacks nothing but a heart and a feather.  
'Tis good sleeping in a whole skin.  
He'll beat him into a mousehole.  
His tail makes buttons.  
One pair of heels is worth two pair of hands.  
Worse afraid than hurt.  
A brave soldier in a pair of sheets.  
His heart is in his heels.  
To fright a bird is not the way to catch her.  
He is afraid to come near him.   

Vel muscas metuit praetervolantes.  
Sed dicere mussant.  
Mens non est in Centauris.  
Exercitus sine cadavere non est.

Plumbeo jugulare gladio.  
Umbram suam metuere.  
Cur ante tubam tremor occupatartus?  
Leporem, frondium crepitus terret.  
Animus in pedes decidit.  
Tanquam Gorgone conspectâ.  
Domi pugnans instat galli.  
Timidior Pisandro.  
Timor addidit alas.  
Ante tubam trepidas.  
In pulicis morsu Deum invocat,  
Mulier imperator & mulier miles.  
Cervinus vir.  
Vir fugiens denuò pugnabit.  
Corinthiis non indignatur Ilium.  
Porrigis tanquam elephanto stipem.    

Tolerantia.  

Beat me to better me.  
A good Painter can draw a Devil as well as an Angel.  
You may break a horses back, be he never so strong.  
Patience must bear us out.  
Men that will be great must sometimes bear.  
Men take bitter potions, for sweet health.  
Strike not sail for every blustering wind.   

Cede, modò doce.  
Antidotum vitae patientia.  
Superanda omnis fortuna ferendo est.  
Patiamur dum potiamur.  
Ut Valeas multa ferenda tibi.  
Perfer & obdura.—    

Torvitas.

He looks sourly on't.   

Titanicus aspectus.  
Origanum tueri.    

Totum ut nihil reliqui.  

He left not so much as his old shoes.  
Overthrown horse and foot.  
It's an hard battle where none'scapes.  
He may go shake his ears.  
Leave them not a halter to bang them with.   

Reliquiae Danaûm.

Tranquillitas.  

In a calm sea, every passenger can be pilot.

Sequitur post gaudia luctus.   
Vide Laetitia.

A doleful ditty.  
They are together by the ears.

Valetudo.  

Health is a jewel.  
Farewell wealth, and welcome health.   

Primùm sapere, dein rectè valere.  
Ut valeam valeant.    

Vanitas.  

Tales of Robin Hood.  
What's that to us?  
Travellers and Poets may lie by authority.  
What have I not been, and yet am nothing, what am I?  
Great pother to small purpose.  
Make much of nought.  
Vanity is in all.  
All are fools.  
A wise man is a wonder.  
Tell me it snows.  
You fill the mouth with empty spoons.  
In the time when beasts could speak.  
'Tis but a blast, 'twill soon be over.  
No gain on earth without his loss, no back of ours without his cross: No pleasure here without his pain, thus earth and earthly things are vain.   

Sicula gerrae.  
Quae apud inferos.  
Cilix haud facilè verum dicit.  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.  
Sever: Imp: Rom.  
Cape nihil, & serva bene.  
Quantum est in rebus inane?  
Nè si bos quidem vocem edat.  
Splend●da coena famem non sedat.  
Res ad Ovidii Metamorphoses revocanda.  
Nubecula est, pertransibitillico.  
In rebus humanis nihil firmum.    

Varietas.  

Variety takes away society.  
Gay is the garland where many flowers meet.  
He picked this salad out of more than one garden.   

Variis facta corolla rosis.  
Varietas tollit fastidium.  
Vario de flore mella sugit apis.    

Veneficia.

He hath some grace in's face.   

Verecundia est virtutis tinctura.  
Erubuit, salva res est.    

Veritas.  

Tell the truth, and shame the Devil.  
Truth may be blamed, but never shamed.  
Truth finds foes where it makes none.  
All truths must not be told.  
What the heart thinks, the tongue speaks.  
It is true men say of you.  
Children and fools cannot lie.  
Truth loveth trial.—  
The less cunning, the more truth.  
Flattery gets friends, but truth hatred.  
Old men and far travellers may lie by authority.  
Truth seeks no corners.  
Truth never shames the master.   

Veritas temporis filia.  
Est & fideli tuta silentio merces  
Veritas una & unica.—  
— Et dicebaris erasque—  
Nuda veritas.  
Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit.  
Ex tripode dictum.  
Sibyllae folium.  
Veritas non quaerit angulos.    

Vestitus.  
As ragged as a beggar.  
As fine as his hands can make him.   

Vices officii.  

Bid me and do't yourself.  
As great as you be, you may need your neighbours.  
Let's do one for other.   

Contribulis factus serva ordinem.  
Nemo sibinascitur.    

Vicinus.  

A good neighbour a good morrow.  
An ill neighbour's an ill thing.  
Who hath a worse friend than he brings from home?  
He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.   

Nè bos quidem pereat.  
Aliquid mali proptervicinum malum.  
Non sunt amici qui de— gunt procul.    

Vicissitudo rerum.  

Sweet and sour are mixed together.  
Every day hath his dolour.   

Miscentur tristia laetis.  
Nulla dies moerore caret.    

Victoria utriusque tristis.  

Both sides are losers.  
If pitcher dash against pitcher both are broken.  
They both go to the pot.  
Battles cost both sides blows.   

Flet victus, victor interiit.  
Testa collisa testae.  
Victoria non incruenta.    

Vigilantia.  

War must be waged by waking men.  
Waking folks do most live.   

Vigilantibus subveniunt leges.  
Vivos à mortuis discernit vigilantia.    

Vilitas.  

Proffered service stinketh.  
I'll not give a figs end for it.  
You stir till you stink.  
Far fetched & dear bought is good for Ladies.  
'Tis an ill dog's not worth whistling.  
As good lost as found.   

Merx ultronea putet.  
Laudat venales qui vult extrudere merces.  
Fumi umbra non emerim.  
Moves camerinam.  
Projectâ vilior a●gâ.  
Ollaris Deus.  
Quis usus cepae putridae?    

Vincere & vinci.  

'Tis good striving to be best.  
Win it and wear it.  
Your loss will not undo you  
Self conquest is the greatest.  
He'll never out, in's own dunghill.  
To carry the cause clear.  
Give losers leave to talk.  
You'll have your hands full.  
He that runs fastest gets most ground.  
Though the goal be won, yet lay the ball i'th' midst.  
They must needs be beaten whom God fights against  
To cast a man in his own action.  
He took me at an advantage.  
Who would have thought it?   

Solus currens vicit.  
Nihil grave passus es nisi tibi vendicas.  
Tunc omnia jura tenebis cum poteris rex esse tui.  
Gallus in suo sterquilinio.  
Tabellis obsignatis agere  
Occupet extremum scabies.  
Quid nisi victis dolor?  
Victi non audent hiscere.  
Securi de salute, de gloria certemus.  
Argivos exarmat oraculum.  
Provocat & vincitur.  
Praelio victus, non bello.  
Num capti potuere capi?    

Vinculum insolubile.  

He hath them fast enough.  
The true Lover's knot.  
A question not easily answered.   

Vulcanium vinculum.  
Herculanus nodus.  
Archimedeum problema.    

Vindicta.  

He's met with now himself.  
Revenge is womanish.  
A cruel revenge.   

Ultorem ulciscitur ultor.  
Indicium est animi vindicta pusilli.  
Vindicta Neoptolemaea.   
Vide Vltio.   

Vinum.  

When wine is in, wit is out.  
Wine makes to tell true.  
Good wine makes a merry heart.  
Wine and women make men runagates.   

Insanire facit sanos quoque copia vini.  
In vino veritas.  
Vinum non habet clavim  
Reddunt delirum foemina, vina virum.   
Vide Bibacitas.   

Virtus.  

Only virtue never dies  
Virtue is nobility.  
Want makes us know the worth.  
'Tis virtue only that hath pleasure.   

Virtus expers est sola sepulchri.  
Virtus vera nobilitas.  
Virtutem incolumem odimus, sublatam ex oculis quaerimus.  
Marcet sine adversario virtus.  
Quod optimum idem jucundissimum.    

Vis injusta.  

The Law is in his own hands.  
He that handles thorns shall prick his fingers.  
To live by other men's losses.  
'Tis an hard winter when one wolf eats another.  
No extreme will hold long.  
All that is sharp is short.  
If it be long it will be light.  
'Twas not meant to you.  
As willing as a bear to the stake.  
Stoppage is no payment.   

〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.  
Leonis catulum nè alas.  
Serpens ni serpentem comedat non fit draco.  
Nullum violentum est perpetuum.  
Rapina rerum Cinnari.  
Nuntio nihil imputandum.    

Vita hominis misera & brevis.  

To day a man, to morrow none.  
Our lif●'s our day.  
He gins his work to day, but God knows when he'lend.  
He lives long that lives well.  
'Tis good to fear the worst, the best will save itself.  
We all must act our part.  
Life lieth not in living, but in liking.  
Life's a span.  
Those that God loves do not always live long.  
Live well, and live for ever.  
Such a life such a death.  
No happiness here below.  
Sleep is the image of Death.  
The fairest rose in three days is withered.  
Once borne must dye.  
Either live or die with honour.  
They that live longest, die at last.   

Homo bulla. Vita est vitrum.  
Tota vita, dies unus est.  
Dies brevis & opus multum.  
Non vita longa bona, sed bona longa.  
Grata superveniet quae non sperabitur hora.  
— Vita haec est fabula quaedam.  
Scena autem est mundus versabilis histrio & actor.  
Quilibet est hominum—  
Vita non est vivere sed valere.  
Vita spithama.  
Vive ut vivas.  
Bene vivere bis vivere est.  
Qualis vita finis ita.  
Salillum animae.  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.  
Dimidio vitae nihil differunt felices ab infelicibus.  
Ephemeri vita.  
Cui nasci contigit mori restat.  
— Aut mors, aut vita decora.  
Vita mancipio nulli datur omnibus usus.  
Celerius occidit festinata maturitas.  
Mortuus est & Ancus.    

Vitium.  

Vice is hatched by concealing.  
He is lifeless that is faultless.   

Vitia qui tegit ●over.  
— Alitur vitium crescitque ●egendo.  
— Vitiis nemo sine nascitur.  
— Exeat aulâ, qui volet esse pius.    

Vltio malefacti.  

Frost and fraud have always foul farewells.  
He may come into my Pater noster, but never into my Creed.  
He that kills a man when he's drunk shall be hanged when he's sober.  
A fly hath her spleen.  
A worm if it be trod on will turn again.  
A short man needs no stool to give a great lubber a box on the ear.  
Take this and take all.  
You are at my mercy.  
I can but will not hurt you  
A man that will fight may find a cudgel in every h●dge.  
He hath spent his powder.  
Forbearance is no acquittance.  
I will sit on your skirts.  
King's have long ears and hands.  
Foolish pity mars a city.  
If I suffer this I shall have worse.  
Oft goes the pitcher to the well, but at last it comes broken home:  
To forget a wrong is the best revenge.  
Ka me, and ka thee.  
Carry a stone in your pocket to throw at a dog.  
He bites and barks not.  
He hath spit his venom.  
Malice is mindful.  
As they brew so let them drink.  
The life of the wolf is the death of the Lamb.  
God is a sure paymaster.  
Slow but sure.  
He may forgive, but not forget.  
Where vice is, vengeance follows.   

Flagitiorum turpis exitus.  
— Scribunt in marmore laesi.  
Vindicta tarda sed gravis  
Vel capra mordeat nocentem.  
Habet & musca splenem & formicae sua bilis inest.  
Posse, nolle, nobile.  
Furor arma ministrat.  
In me haec cudetur faba.  
Quod differtur non aufertur.  
Multae regum aures ac oculi.  
Impunitas peccati praebet ansam peccandi.  
Aurum habet Tolosanum.  
Post folia cadunt arbores.  
Figulus ponit ollis ansas pro voluntate.  
Injuria oblivione ulciscenda.  
Discite justitiam moniti, nec temnite Divos.  
Canis vindictam:  
Serò Jupiter diphthêram inspexit.  
Semper virgines furiae.  
Mali bibunt improbitatis fae cem.  
Stultus qui patre caeso, pepercit liberis.  
Sus acina dependes.  
Bonis nocet qui malis parcit.  
Improbi consilium in extremum incidit malum.  
Dii lenti sed certi vindices  
Dii laneos habent pedes.  
Qui non habet in aere, luat in corpore.  
Noxa caput sequitur.  
Ocnus funiculum torquet  
Ubi peccatum ibi procella.    

Voluntas.  

Good will is all in all.   

— Voluisse sat est.    

Voluptas.  

Long repentance follows short pleasure.  
Hounds and horses devour their masters.  
Sport is sweetest when there be no spectators.  
Cheap sold & dear bought  
Pleasure bought dear.  
Sweet meat must have sour sauce.  
Stolen bread is ever sweetest.  
Never pleasure, without repentance.  
Whose fire smokes not?  
No sun without a shadow.  
No rose without a thorn.  
He prefers an inch of pleasure before an elne of profit  
The Devil's meal is half bran.  
They love dancing well that dance among thorns.  
Sadness and gladness succeed each other.   

Hominis praestantiâ indigna est voluptas.  
Voluptates commendat rarior usus.  
Voluptatum usurae morbi sunt.  
Dulce pomum cum abest custos.  
Insania laeta voluptas.  
Nimium est illi boni, cui nihil est mali.  
Nocet empta dolore voluptas.  
Miscentur tristia laetis.    

Volume.  

Debts are sooner due than discharged.  
If wishes were truths, beggars would eat birds.  
His prayer will take place, or speed and prosper.  
No man can have all his wishes.  
He hopes to cousin fools somewhere.  
The cat loves fishwell▪ but's loath to wet her foot to catch them.  
Wishers and woulders are no good house holder's.  
You'st have your wish.  
God shield.   

Omnes aes alienum cepe & mulcta allium.  
Utinam mihi contingant ea quae sunt inter Corinthum & Sicyonem.  
Canis panes somnians.  
Achilleum votum.  
Quid non fies profectus Arbelas?  
Nè contra bovem opta.  
Jupiter plue mel.  
Quod licet ingratum est—  
— Aderit vocatus Apollo.  
Dii meliora.    

Vsura.  

Usury breeds misery.  
To borrow on usury brings sudden beggary.  
They that go a borrowing, go a sorrowing.  
Payday comes apace.  
It's a grief to owe, & have nothing to pay.  
Out of debt & deadly danger.   

Foenus pecuniae funus animae.  
De malè quaesitis non gaudet tertius haeres.  
Citius usura currit quam Heraclitus.  
Est Pylus ante Pylum.  
Semel rubidus ac decies pallidus.  
Felix qui nihil debet.    

Vulgus.  

Do as the most, and the fewest will speak evil.  
Say as men say, but think to yourself.   

Loquendum ut vulgus sentiendum ut sa pientes.    

Vxor.  

There's one good wife i'th' country, and every man thinks he hath wed her.  
If a wife make her husband cuckold, he shall hear of't last i'th' parish.  
Wars are pleasant in the ear, not in the eye.  
Sweet are to speak of but not for to try.  
The good wife wears the breeches, the good man the horns.  
Any thing for a quiet life  
A cursed wife is like a wasp.  
Wife's must be had, be they good or bad.  
Other men have their wives aswell as you.  
The grey mare's the better horse.  
A man must ask his wife if he shall thrive.  
There's no greater shame than to be a cuckold.  
The more master wears no breeches.  
Wedding and ill wintering tames both man & beast.  
They that wed, ere they be wise▪ shall die before they thrive.  
A good Jack makes a good Gill.  
A wife is a fine thing, house keeping is a shrew.  
A good Wife makes a good husband.  
You may as well turn the wind as a woman.  
The wife and the sword may be showed, but not lent.  
Women will have their wills.  
Better to be a shrew than a sheep.  
The Moon directs more than the Sun.  
It is good to marry late, or never.  
No lack to a wife.  
Husband's are in heaven whose wives chide not  
The second wife is best beloved.  
He that makes his wife his master must be set a grazing.   

Nimis est uxorius.  
Dulce bellum inexpertis.  
Mulier in aedibus atra tempestas viro.  
Domesticum malum.  
Cum uxore malè vivitur, absque hac omnino non vivitur.  
Nectecum possum vivere, nec sine te.  
Non soli Atridae uxores amant.  
Uxor nomen dignitatis, non voluptatis.  
Trahunt addictos in sua jura viros.  
Ignis, mare, mulier, tria sunt mala.  
Nihil foemina imperiosius  
Ubi tu Cajus, ibi ego Caja  
Dotem accepi, imperium vendidi.  
Gallina canit, silet gallus.  
Sic volo sic jubeo— stat.— medeae.  
Uxoris linguam si frugi est, ferre memento.  
Mulieris consilium aliquoties sanun●.  
Uxorem duxi, sed crebro postea luxi.  
Melius nil coelibe vita.  
Qui non litigat coelebs est.  
Bona carendo magis quàm—  
Dedecus extremum obtemperare foeminae.
