This French proverb is found in Cotgrave's Dictionary of the French and English Tongues. 1611 first used in print in French.

French use in New France after 1690 in Newspapers and other print!

English use

The game is worth the candle.

The game is not worth the candle.

Gambling reference!

I do like this as a gambling reference!
