Was kissing my wife, which I did not like

We are to go to law never to revenge, but only to repayre

We had a good surloyne of rost beefe

Weary of it; but it will please the citizens Weather being very wet and hot to keep meat in.

What way a man could devise to lose so much in so little time

What I said would not hold water

What I had writ foule in short hand

What they all, through profit or fear, did promise

What a sorry dispatch these great persons give to business

What is there more to be had of a woman than the possessing her

Where money is free, there is great plenty

Where I find the worst very good

Where a piece of the Cross is

Where a trade hath once been and do decay, it never recovers

Where I expect most I find least satisfaction

Wherein every party has laboured to cheat another

Which he left him in the lurch

Which I did give him some hope of, though I never intend it

Whip this child till the blood come, if it were my child!

Whip a boy at each place they stop at in their procession

Who is the most, and promises the least, of any man

Who we found ill still, but he do make very much of it

Who must except against every thing and remedy nothing

Whose red nose makes me ashamed to be seen with him

Willing to receive a bribe if it were offered me

Wine, new and old, with labells pasted upon each bottle

Wise man's not being wise at all times

Wise men do prepare to remove abroad what they have
