Long-lookt for comes at length.
Delay breeds danger.
Delayes are the death of suiters.
He that comes last maketh all fast.
First comes first served.
At leasure as flaxe grow∣eth.
He that goes softly goes safely.
Soft fire maketh sweete mault.
Soft and fare for feare of falling.
Soft and faire goes faire in a day.
You come after, with salt and spoones.
While the grasse groweth, the horse starveth.
He liveth upon other mens death.
Soone enough if well enough.
You'l see the last man borne.
Slow and sure.
As softly as foot can fall.
He creepes like a snaile.
Faire and softly.

Forbearance is no quit∣tance.
A day after the faire like Tom Long the carrier.
You must kisse the post.
Rome was not built on a day.
They spend the day in trick¦ing and triumphing.
