RICHARD PUTTENHAM
English author
(1520? - 1601?)

All is but a jest, all dust, all not worth two peason:
  For why in man's matters is neither rime nor reason.
    [Lat., Omnia sunt risus, sunt pulvis, et omnia nil sunt:
      Res hominum cunctae, nam ratione lies.]
      - Arte of English Poesie (p. 125),
        attributed by him to Democritus [Reason]
