THE BLIND DOE WATCH ON ALL SIDES
40
THE GEESE & THE CRANES BEWARE OF ENTERPRIZES WHERE THE RISKS ARE NOT EQUAL

THE TRUMPETER TAKEN PRISONER SONGS MAY SERVE A CAUSE AS WELL AS SWORDS
42
HOT AND COLD ÆSOP AIMED AT DOUBLE DEALING
43
NEITHER BEAST NOR BIRD BETWEEN TWO STOOLS YOU MAY COME TO THE GROUND
44
THE STAG IN THE OX STALL AN EYE IS KEEN IN ITS OWN INTEREST
THE DEER & THE LION FATE CAN MEET AS WELL AS FOLLOW
45
THE LION IN LOVE OUR VERY MEANS MAY DEFEAT OUR ENDS ”

“ THE LAZY HOUSEMAIDS LAZINESS IS ITS OWN PUNISHMENT
17
THE SNAKE & THE FILE WE MAY MEET OUR MATCH
THE FOX & THE CROW BEWARE OF FLATTERERS
18
THE DOG IN THE MANGER DON’T BE SELFISH
THE FROG & THE BULL BRAG IS NOT ALWAYS BELIEF ”
