"_Lavora, come se tu," &c._--In Bohn's edition of Jeremy Taylor's _Holy
Living and Dying_, I observe in the notes several Italian sentences, mostly
couplets or proverbs. One peculiarly struck me: and I should feel obliged
if any of your readers could tell me whence it was taken, name of author,
&c. The couplet runs thus (Vide p. 182. of the work):--
"Lavora, come se tu avessi a camper ogni hora:
Adora, come se tu avessi a morir allora."
Indeed it would not be amiss, if _all_ the notes were marked with authors'
names or other reference, as I find some few of the Latin quotations as
well as the Greek, and _all_ the Italian ones, require a godfather.
