:It's sort of the inverse to "Do as you would be done by", I suppose. I.e.: do as you ''think'' you could be done by; get your retaliation in first! And I also found (by surprise) that it ''was'' a known English phrase in the thief form. In my search, as direct equivalent to a Spanish 'original' that it was compared with, so probably cross-pollination across languages, in whatever directions from whatever true origin. | :It's sort of the inverse to "Do as you would be done by", I suppose.
