Ignavia & inscitia.

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 worke in heat.

The fickle and the sithe that love I not to see.

But the good ale-tankard happy might it be.

Standing pooles gather filth.

He cannot beare a feather but he must pant.

The muffled cat is never good mouser.

While the leg warmeth the boot harmeth.

Qui nucleum esse vult, nucem frangat opor∣tet.

Hodie nullam lineam scripsi.

Neque natare, neque li∣teras.

Barbarus ex trivio.

Liberae caprae ab aratro.

Par impar ludunt.

Manus sine opere mendi∣cabit properè.

Ne Mercurius quidem ipse cum Musis ana∣rit.
