[2] _Popular Science Monthly_, May, 1911. [3] Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1871. [4] The Latin lines run thus: Si vis incolumem, si vis te reddere sanum, Cures tolle graves, iras crede profanum. Parce mero--coenato parum, non sit tibi vanum Surgere post epulas; somnum fuge meridianum; Ne mictum retine, nec comprime fortiter anum; Hæc bene si serves, tu longo tempore vives. [5] English translations of the _Regimen_ were made in 1575, 1607, and 1617. The two latter were printed; the former exists in manuscript in the Library of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. The opening lines of the edition of 1607 deserve to be noted because they are the origin of an expression that has been frequently quoted since.
