Nec Meta, Nec Onus

Here is today's emblem and distich by Joachim Camerarius, 2:17. Although the camel is a hard-working beast, a burden and journey that is enormously long can lay the camel low; hard work which is done for the love of glory and praise, however, does not tire on its journey.

Nec Meta, Nec Onus
Sternit humi, immensum quod pondus iterque camelum;
Sternitur haud fortis laudis amore labor.
