He beares away the bell.

He has won the spurres —

One's as good as a hundred

The best is best cheape.

A man in print.

A per se a.

A stout maimed Souldier is worth ten cowards that have their limbes.

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 bet∣ter than one.

One man is better than th••••e.

A very none such.

A master-peece.

Page 105

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 moone's not seen.

Though good be good, yet better's better.

He domineers bravely where fooles be.

You chalenge him that may be your master.

He is not worthy to carry his bookes.

A very no-body.

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 asse than tayl of a horse.

Better is better.

Good ware makes quick markets.

He crowes loud upon a dung-hill.

He outshot him in 's own bow.

The nightingale and cuc∣kow sing both in one month.
