Every man can't goe to th' price.

He may ill run that can∣not goe.

Faire fowles have faire feathers.

The best things are worst to come by.

No sweet without sweat.

Page 88

Forsake not the market for the toll.

'Tis a bone worth the pic∣king.

The higher the plum-tree the sweeter the plumme

Every rose groweth from prickles.

Assoon may you get a fart of a dead man.

He has his load.

A light load is heavy to carry farre.

Rome was not built all on a day.

'Tis not so soone done, as sayd.

A man must not leave his way for a little raine.

All the craft is in the catching.

A little stream serveth to drive a light mlne.

Crabbed lines.

There's a doubt in it.

Fooles tye knots, and wise men loose them.

Hard to hold.
