Truth, honour, all that is compriz’d in good. Dryden. 
Good placed after bad, with as, feems a fubdantive ;

jeftive elliptically ufed, or it may be confidered as’ad¬ 
verbial. See Good, ado, — The pilot mud intend fome

GOOD, interj. Well! right ! It is fometimes alfo 
ufed ironically. 
“ Good wine needs no bufh.” 
Morally, this proverb intimates, that virtue is valu¬ 
able on its own innate account ; and that internal good- 
nefs dands in need of no external ornaments to recom¬ 
mend it. It feems to be of Latin original : as. Vino 
vendibili hedera fufpenja nihil ejl opus ; and accordingly the 
French fay, A bon vin il ne faut point d’enjeigne. —I'lie ori¬ 
gin of the proverb, in its literal fenfe, is explained 
thus: In early times, before inns were edablidied ,on 
public roads, thofe who had wine to fell, by way of 
fign hung out a bufli; and hence it came to be a faying, 
“ that good wine would find cudomers without a buih.”
