2 INterpone tuis interdum gaudia curis

3 Vt po s s is animo quemuis sufferre laborem

4Doo any of you knowe what latyne is this

5Or ells wold you haue an expositorem

6To declare it in Engly she per sensum planiorem

7It is be st I speake Engly she or ells with in awhylle

8I may percace myne ownselfe with my latin begile

9The two verses which I rehersid before

10I finde writen in the boke of Cato the wyse

11Emongs good precepts of lyuing a thousand more

12Which to folowe there he doth all men auise

13And they may be Engly shed breflie in this wise

14Emongs thy carfull busines vse sume time mirth & ioye

15That no bodilye worke thy wytts breke or noye

16For the mynd (saith he) in serius matters occupied

17If it haue not sum quiet mirthe and recreacion

18Interchaungeablie admixed mu st niddes be sone weried

19And (as who should saye) tried, through continual opera- (cion)

20Of labour and busines without relaxacion

21Therfor intermixt hone st mirthe in suche wise

22That your strenght may be refre shid & to labours suffise

23For as meat and drinke, naturall re st and slype

24For the conseruacion and helth of the bodye

25Mu st niddes be had, soo the mynd and wittes to kype

26Pregnant, fre she indu struis, quike and lu stie

27Hone st mirthe, and pa stime is requisite and nece s s arie

28For Quod caret alterna requie durabile non e st

29Nothyng may endure (saith Ouyd) with out sum re st
