Whence he comes, thence he goes, hence he comes again.

Means: From where he comes, from then he goes and he will come again.

Hence : away from, because of, out of (from)

Thence: from that time, fact, place (then)

Whence: from a place, source, cause (because)

Thank you for asking...I had to look them up to be sure, and I had no idea about "thence."
