ōtium, Catulle, tibi molestum est:
ōtiō exsultās nimiumque gestīs.
ōtium et rēgēs prius et beātās
     perdidit urbēs.
     ‘O Catullus, you have troublesome idleness
you exult in idleness, and you have too much of it.
Idleness has formerly ruined both kings
     and blessed cities.’
Catullus, Carmen LI.13–16
