A foole's bolt is soone shot.
They know on whose errand they goe.
Fare well, and say nothing.
The still sow eates all the draff.
He's wise that can hold his peace.
Winke and be wise.

He hath lost his tongue.
If my shirt knew my secrets I'de burne it.
Heare and see and say no∣thing.
See me, and see me not.
Silence is consent.
Maidens must be seene and not be heard.
Little sayd soone amended.
Fields have eyes, and woods have eares.
Wide eares and a short tongue.
He hath not a word to cast at a dog.
As mute as a fish.
He's blanke.
The fewer the better fare.
Whist, and catch a mouse.
A man may hold his tongue in an ill time.
Little pitchers have eares.
Plenus est rimarum, hac atque illac perfluit.
Grues lapidem degluti∣entes.
Qui tacitus procedit viâ, hujus ego dux fuero.
Quod facere aggrederis noli praedicare.
Digito compesce label∣lum▪

Fraenum in lingua.
Lupi Moerin videre prio∣res.
Quod taceri vis, ipse pri∣or taceas.
Quod scis nescias.
Qui tacet consentire vi∣detur.
Mulierem ornat silenti∣um.
E paucis verbis ingens bonum aut malum.
Silentii tutum praemium▪
Nè sol quidem sciet.
Muti citiùs loquuntur.
Nè Gry, nè My quidem.
Areopagita taciturnior.
Magis mutus quàm pis∣cis,
Rana seriphia.
Reddidit Harpocratem.
Amyclas perdidit silenti∣um.
Nè interula quidem arca∣ni conscia.
Si tacent satis dicunt.
