Interdum requiescendum.
Sometimes all must rest.
Ad Petrum Ligorium.
Non, il n’est pas besoing de tousjours travailler,
L’esprit veut reposer, & le corps sommeiller.
Ainsi les oliviers d’an en an se reposent.
La terre est en gachere, afin de mieux porter,
Et rien ne peut icy sans repos persister
Car ainsi de tous temps les astres nous disposent.
Si tu gardes un arc tendu trop longuement,

Si tu le laches trop: il faut donc regarder
Que l’homme doibt sur tout soigneusement garder
La mediocrité qui sçait bien tout parfaire.
