• Ben Jonson Where dost thou careless lie, Buried in ease and sloth? Knowledge that sleeps, doth die; And this security, It is the common moth, That eats on wits and arts, and oft destroys them both.

Ben Jonson - Where dost thou careless lie, 
 Buried in ease and sloth? 
 Knowledge that sleeps, doth die; 
 And this security, 
 It is the common moth, 
 That eats on wits and arts, and oft destroys them both.
Where dost thou careless lie, Buried in ease and sloth? Knowledge that sleeps, doth die; And this security, It is the common moth, That eats on wits and arts, and oft destroys them both. by : Ben Jonson
