Perit quicquid feceris ingrato.

Amongst such deeds, as when that they are done
Inforce a man for to repent therefore,
This one thing cheefe remaines for ech to shun,
Though there aboūd by knowlege many more,
What euer thing thou doest with zelous mind,
T'a churlish wight yt adage shewes such sense,
Its lost: he will not leaue his doggish kinde,
Ne neuer meane the same to recompence.
