Alius peccat, alius plectitur.
One sins and another is punished
Arripit ut lapidem catulus morsuque fatigat,
Nec percussori mutua damna facit.
Sic plaerique[1] sinunt veros elabier hosteis,
Et quos nulla gravat noxia, dente petunt.[2]
A puppy seizes the stone and worries it with his teeth and does not bite back at the one who threw it. Even so, most people allow the true enemy to escape and bite those who carry no burden of guilt.

Lung faict la faulte, lautre a la peine.
Le chien quelque fois mort la pierre,
Quon luy a gettee roidement:
Mais en cela, son despit erre:
On le congnoist evidemment.
Il laisse sauf le fondement,
A scavoir cil qui faict loffence,
Et veult corriger asprement
Linnocent, qui est sans deffense.
