Though ye loue not to bye the pyg in the poke,
Yet snatche ye at the poke, that the pyg is in,
Not for the poke, but the pyg good chepe to wyn.

Though you love not to buy the pig in the poke, Yet snatch you at the poke, that the pig is in, Not for the poke, but the pig good cheap to win. - Proverbs (1546)
