From one of the speeches in Henry VI part 2 (that's a Shakespeare play!)\n\nHere's the speech. The origin of Mum's the word comes in the third line:\n\n\n    Hume must make merry with the duchess' gold;\n    Marry, and shall. But how now, Sir John Hume!\n    Seal up your lips, and give no words but mum:\n    The business asketh silent secrecy.\n    Dame Eleanor gives gold to bring the witch:\n    Gold cannot come amiss, were she a devil.\n    Yet have I gold flies from another coast;\n    I dare not say, from the rich cardinal\n    And from the great and new-made Duke of Suffolk,\n    Yet I do find it so; for to be plain,\n    They, knowing Dame Eleanor's aspiring humour,\n    Have hired me to undermine the duchess\n    And buz these conjurations in her brain.\n    They say 'A crafty knave does need no broker;'\n    Yet am I Suffolk and the cardinal's broker.\n    Hume, if you take not heed, you shall go near\n    To call them both a pair of crafty knaves.\n    Well, so it stands; and thus, I fear, at last\n    Hume's knavery will be the duchess' wreck,\n    And her attainture will be Humphrey's fall:\n    Sort how it will, I shall have gold for all.

Seize the day.\n\nCarpe diem is a Latin phrase literally meaning "pluck the day" but usually translated as "seize the day". It is often adopted (or at least quoted) as a personal motto. The term is also used in several navies as an expression of goodwill.\n\n[edit]\nUse in poetry\nThe origin of the phrase is usually attributed to the Roman poet Horace; his Odes I, 11.8-9 (65–8 BC) reads:\n\nDum loquimur fugerit invida aetas. Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero. \n(As we speak, jealous Time flees. Pluck the day, believing as little as possible in the next.) \nIt is quoted accordingly either as a demand not to waste somebody's time with useless things, or as a justification for pleasure and joy of life with little fear for the future.\n\nThis idea was popular in 16th and 17th-century English poetry, for example in Robert Herrick's To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time, which begins "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may". [1] It is interesting to note that the following Chinese couplet attributed to a certain poetess in Tang Dynasty, which have entered the realm of proverbs, strikingly resemble Herrick's line:\n\n(Pluck the flower when it has blossomed; don't wait until there are no flowers with only branches to break.)\n\nAnother of Herrick's poems, His Age [2] includes the lines:\n\nAh Posthumus! Our years hence fly, \nAnd leave no sound; nor piety, \nOr prayers, or vow \nCan keep the wrinkle from the brow - \nAnd:\n\nA merry mind \nLooks forward, scorns what's left behind; \nLet's live, my Wickes, then, while we may \nAn here enjoy our holiday. \nThis theme is also recalled in the verses of English Victorian poet Tennyson, and in Andrew Marvell's famous To His Coy Mistress.\n\nA song in William Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night has been referred to as "Carpe Diem", although the phrase itself is not mentioned in it:\n\nO MISTRESS mine, where are you roaming? \nO stay and hear! your true-love's coming \nThat can sing both high and low; \nTrip no further, pretty sweeting, \nJourneys end in lovers meeting - \nEvery wise man's son doth know. \nWhat is love? 'tis not hereafter; \nPresent mirth hath present laughter; \nWhat's to come is still unsure: \nIn delay there lies no plenty, - \nThen come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty, \nYouth's a stuff will not endure. \nThe word phrase carpe diem is also used to denote the theme of Christopher Marlowe's The Passionate Shepherd to His Love.\n\nIn a modern poem, entitled "You Would" by A. Kefalas, the phrase is used in reference to seizing the day. It states, "Carpe diem, damnit."
