Musis Aurora Benigna

Here is today's emblem and distich by Joachim Camerarius, 1:20. In his essay, Camerarius discusses those plants which bloom at night and at the dawn, and urges us to be just as industrious ourselves, not procrastinating in our labors, especially in our artistic efforts, if want to please them, i.e. the Muses.
