A horse after a race, a hunting dog after the hunt, a bee after making honey — none of them look for praise. The same goes for someone who truly understands their nature. When they do good, they simply move on to the next good deed. Like a vine that bears fruit in season and then gets ready to bear fruit again. You must be one of those people who just does what needs doing, without thinking about it, almost unaware of your own good actions.
As a horse after a race, and a hunting dog when he hath hunted, and a bee when she hath made her honey, look not for applause and commendation; so neither doth that man that rightly doth understand his own nature when he hath done a good turn: but from one doth proceed to do another, even as the vine after she hath once borne fruit in her own proper season, is ready for another time. Thou therefore must be one of them, who what they do, barely do it without any further thought, and are in a manner insensible of what they do.
