More scared than hurt.
They that are afraid of wounds, must not come neare a battell.
A white livered Captaine for all his brazen face.
He will save one.
He is afraid of the wagging of eve••y straw.

A coward often changeth colour.
Hee trembles like an aspen leafe.
Hee that makes himselfe a sheepe shall bee eaten of the wolfe.
A scald, or cut feares the coldest waters.
To offer his fist, and shew a faire paire of heeles.
An excellent souldier, hee lacks nothing but a heart and a feather.
'Tis good sleeping in a whole skin.

A brave souldier in a paire of sheets.
His heart is in his heeles.
To fright a bird is not the way to catch her.
Hee is afraid to come neare him.

Sed dicere mussant.

Tanquam Gorgone con∣spectâ.

In pulicis morsu Deum in∣vocat,
Mulier imperator & mu∣lier miles.
Cervinus vir.
Vir fugiens denuò pugna∣bit.
Corinthiis non indigna∣tur Ilium.
Porrigis tanquam ele∣phanto stipem.
