He useth haile, when he hath no thunder.

You dare as well take a beare by the tooth.

You dare as well take a dead man by the toe.

Bring you the Devill and I'le bring out his damme.

All this wind shakes no corne.

Bug-beares to scare babes.

If words will not serve blowes shall.

There's lightning lightly before thunder.

You'l be sent to a stronger house then ever your father built for you.

You'l scratch a begger one day.

His threates are no thun∣der-bolts.

Dogs bark before they bite.

As sure as the coats on your back.

I'le watch you a good turne

I'le give you as good as you bring.

There's rods in pisse for you

He sayes more then he will doe.

You'd as good run to Rome with a mortar on your head.
