Nor house, nor lands, nor heaps of labour'd ore <br>
Can give their feverish lord one moment's rest, <br>

[tr. <a href="https://archive.org/details/satiresepistlesi00hora/page/174/mode/2up?q=%22blest+with+a+competence%22">Francis</a> (1747)]</blockquote><br>

If health be wanting, riches quickly cloy;<br>
'Tis vain to hoard, unless we can enjoy.<br>

Nor house, nor lands, nor brass, nor golden store <br>
Can of its fire the fevered frame relieve, <br>
Or make the care-fraught spirit cease to grieve. <br>
Sound, mind and body both, should be his health <br>

<blockquote>If a sufficiency belong to any one, let him desire no more. A house and farm, a heap of brass and gold, have never removed fever from the sickly body of their possessor, nor cares from his mind. It is a necessity that their owner be sound in body and mind if he contemplate making a good use of his accumulated substance.<br>

<blockquote>But after all, enough is enough, and he who has enough is wise if he does not ask for more. A house, a farm, and a store of gold, these never drove the fever from their owner's aching body, or took the burden of care from his mind. Verily, the man of wealth must have good health if he would enjoy the fruit of all his labors.<br>

<blockquote>He, to whose lot sufficient falls, should covet nothing more. No house or land, no pile of bronze or god, has ever freed the owner's sick body of fevers, or his sick mind of cares. The possessor must be sound in health, if he thinks of enjoying the stores he has gathered.<br>

<blockquote>But anyone who has enough should want no more.<br>
No house and farm, no heap of copper and gold<br>
can drive a fever from its owner's weakened flesh<br>
Or his worries from his soul. He must be well<br>
if he wants good use from everything he's gathered.<br>
[tr. <a href="https://archive.org/details/horacessatiresep0000hora/page/54/mode/2up?q=%22but+anyone+who+has+enough%22">Fuchs</a> (1977)]</blockquote><br>

<blockquote>But having enough we should never want more. No house <br>
In town, no land, no piles of gold and bronze,<br>
Have ever freed a man's mind, or eased the fevers<br>
Racking his body. To enjoy treasure you must be sound<br>
In mind, stable in body.<br>
[tr. <a href="https://archive.org/details/essentialhoraceo0000hora/page/204/mode/2up?q=%22but+having+enough%22">Raffel</a> (1983)]</blockquote><br>






<blockquote>The man who has enough should be satisfied<br>
With what he has. Prosperity is never<br>
Going to be able to cure a body that's sick<br>
Or a mind that's sick. You've got to be well if you want<br>
To enjoy the things you own.<br>
[tr. <a href="https://archive.org/details/epistlesofhorace0000hora/page/14/mode/2up?q=%22enough+should+be%22">Ferry</a> (2001)] </blockquote><br>

<blockquote>But when one is blest with enough, one shouldn't long for more.<br>
Possessing a house or farm or a pile of bronze and gold<br>
has never been known to expel a fever from an invalid's body<br>
or a worry from his mind. Unless the owner has sound health<br>
he cannot hope to enjoy the goods he has brought together.<br>
[tr. <a href="https://archive.org/details/satiresofhoracep00hora/page/80/mode/2up?q=%22blest+with+enough%22">Rudd</a> (2005 ed.)]</blockquote><br>

<blockquote>But he who’s handed enough, shouldn’t long for more.<br>
Houses and land, piles of bronze and gold, have never<br>
Freed their owner’s sick body from fever, or his spirit<br>
From care: if he wants to enjoy the goods he’s gathered<br>
Their possessor must be well.<br>
