Lame Giles has playd the man.

The curst cow hath short hornes.

What you win i'th shire you lose i'th hundred.

He broke my head, and then gave me a plai∣ster.

Jack will eat no fat, and Jill doth love no leane.

Yet betwixt them both they lick the dishes cleane.

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.

Page 18

As the day lengthens so the cold strengthens.

'Tis an ill wind blowes no man profit.

Either all or none at all.

The pride of the rich makes the labours of the poore.

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.
