And ones their hastie heate a littell controlde,
Than perceiue they well, hotte love soone colde.

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
