The noisy fowler catches no birds. [ Proverb ]

False as the fowler's artful snare. [ Smollett ]

The fowler's pipe sounds sweet, till the bird is caught. [ Proverb ]

But for the cravings of the belly not a bird would have fallen into the snare; nay, nay, the fowler would not have spread his net. The belly is chains to the hands and fetters to the feet. He who is a slave to his belly seldom worships God. [ Saadi ]
