Classic Poem

Interpone tuis, interdum gaudia curis;
Ut possis animo quem vis sufferre laborem.

Mixe with thy Studies sometimes Recreation:
That so the spirits may have relaxation.

Or thus,

Thou must not alwayes worke; nor alwayes Play:
This, That a breathing gives; That, This a stay.

Or thus,

Care spends the spirits: if it alwayes spend,
And no supply by mirth; 'twille soone have end.

Or thus,

Myrth after Care, is the Mindes Holyday;
It intermitteth Care, that care it may.

Or thus,

The Minde is as a Bow; if This still bent:
If That still Caring; both grow impotent.

Or thus,

Not Mirth, nor Care alone; but enterwreathed:
Care gets Mirth stomack: Myrth makes Care long breathed.

Or thus,

Nor Care, nor Mirth alone, but both by turnes:
The minde, without Care rusts; without Mirth, mourns.
