Here is today's distich by John Owen, with an English translation by Thomas Harvey, 5.9.

ΕΙΝΑΙ ΚΑΙ ΕΧΕΙΝ
“Esse et habere bonum est,” dixit quis nescio Graius.
Addidit Almannus nescio quis, “bibere.”

TO BE AND HAVE
“’Tis good to Be and Have,” A Greek, I think
Once said, and th’ Alman added, “and to drink.”
