In Spe Et Labore Transigo Vitam

Here is today's emblem and distich by Gabriel Rollenhagen, Book 2:16, with an English rendering by George Wither. You can see the emblems of hope both by land (the farmer sows in hope) and by sea (the anchor is the sailor's hope).

In Spe Et Labore Transigo Vitam
Spes me alit atque labor, miseram sic transigo vitam;
Non nisi in aeterna est pace beata quies.

Our Dayes, untill our Life hath end
In Labours, and in Hopes, wee spend.
