An old bird is not catcht with chaffe.
He hath wind milnes in's head.
Take tap under lap and turne backe againe.
You are a crafty compa∣nion.
You deale with a slippery fellow.

An old bird is not catcht with chaffe.
He hath wind milnes in's head.
Take tap under lap and turne backe againe.
You are a crafty compa∣nion.
You deale with a slippery fellow.
The rowling stone gathers no moss.
Kind to day, cross to mor∣row.
His shooes be made of run∣ning leather.
As wavering as the weather-cocke.
Won with the egge and lost with the shell.
Fast and loose is no posses∣sion.
A jolly turne-coate.
As much hold of his word as a wet eele by the tayle.
As light as the Queenes groat.
Sorrow is soone forgotten.
A womans mind, and winter-wind change oft.
