Inconstantiae perfidiae versutiae.
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.
Multa novit vulpes ve∣rùm echinus unum magnum.
Simia non capitur la∣queo.
Chimaera.
Palinodiam canere.
Volaticum jusjurandum.
Leo prius, nunc leporem agit.
Sesqui-Ulysses.
Arte Pelasga.
Anima nunc huc, nunc fluctuat illuc.
Astutam rapido servas sub pectore vulpem.
Polypi caput.
Si leonina pellis non satis est, vulpina assuenda est.

Proteo mutabilior.
Chamaeleonte mutabilior
Ex se fingit velut ara∣neus.
Quod mutuavit natura repetit.
Quod commodavit for∣tuna tollet.
Quod paravit virtus re∣tinebis.
Africa semper aliquid ap∣portat novi.
Favor nobilium favor mobilium.
Aliud stans aliud sedens loquitur.
Romae Tybur amo ven∣tosus —
Caudâ tenet anguillam.
Modò palliatus, modò togatus.
Lachrymâ nil citius are∣scit.
Mulieris animus.
