278. Coat. Cut your coat according to your cloth.
279. Coat. It's not the gay coat that makes the gentleman.
They that can cobble and clout,
Shall have work when others go without.
281. Cobbler. Let not the cobbler go beyond his last.
282. Cobbler's wife. Who goes worse shod than the cobbler's wife?
If the cock moult before the hen,
We shall have weather thick and thin;
But if the hen moult before the cock,
We shall have weather hard as a block.
