“Did thrust as now in others' corn his sickle.”
Second Week, Second Day, Part ii. Compare: "Never thrust your own sickle into another’s corn", Publius Syrus, Maxim 593.
La Seconde Semaine (1584)
“Who fain would sow the fallow field,
And see the growing corn,
Must first remove the useless weeds,
The bramble and the thorn.”
Qui serere ingenuum uolet agrum
liberat arua prius fruticibus,
falce rubos filicemque resecat,
ut noua fruge grauis Ceres eat.
Poem I, lines 1-4; translation by H. R. James

Scared from the corn, and now to some lone seat
Retired”
