John Heywood (1497–1580) English writer known for plays, poems and a collection of proverbs
True, said Ales, things done can not be undone,
Be they done in due time, too late, or too soon,
But better late than never to repent this,
To late, said my aunt, this repentance shown is,
When the steed is stolen shut the stable door.
Part I, chapter 10
