Better children weep than old folks.

A day after the faire.

We may thank our selves.

He hath turn'd over a new leafe.

Cry you mercy, kill'd my cat.

Had I wist, comes too late.

After death to send for the physitian.

When the steed is stolne'tis too late to shut the stable doore.

Selfe-doe, selfe have.

Wil's nought till it bee bought.

Beware of had I wist.

—He'l be missed when he is gone.

Long repentance followes short pleasure.

He hath time to repent in.

Better spare at brim than at the bottom.

When all's gone and nothing last, What good do's the dagger with the dudgeon hast?
