"Tart main a cul, quant pet est hors." I take this to mean "Too late is a hand over the arse hole, once the fart is out." A German version — "Zu spät bedeckt man den Arsch nach dem Furz."
These seem to me more earthy and vigorous than the English "It is too late to shutte the stable doore when the steed is stolne."
