A honie tongue, a heart of gall.
Flatterers meane no good.
Faire wo••ds make fooles faine.
Men love to heare well of themselves.
Faire words butter noe parsnips
He loves to be praised.
Praise the pretty ape—
When good cheare is lac∣king, our friends will be packing.
No longer foster no longer freind.
No longer pipe no longer dance.
—Now they leave me on a lea-land.
Think not better of your selfe than all the parish.
He would have a fig
Men use to worship the ri∣sing sunne.
He is mealy-mouth'd.
There's craft in dawbing.
The dog wags his tayle, not for love of you, but of your bread.
descriptionPage 13
He curries favour on both sides.
He loves to be scratcht.
Full of courtesie, and full of craft.
O brave lad!
Giff Gaff was a good fel∣low.
They have need of a blessing that kneele to a thistle.
—All the dogs follow the salt bitch.
