Rome was not built in one daie (quoth he) and yet stood
Till it was finist, as some say, full faire.

John Heywood

True (quoth Ales) thinges doone can not be vndoone,
Be they done in due tyme, to late, or to soone,
But better late than neuer to repent this,
To late (quoth my aunt) this repentance showd is,
Whan the stéede is stolne shut the stable durre.

John Heywood

Well aunt (quoth Ales) all is well that endes well.
Ye Ales, of a good begynnyng comth a good end.
