In accord with the day

I know that I am given this day
Not to work, but instead to play
Or spend as I will, so I say
That the name of it should go away.

The stated name, I'll not repeat;
To heap praise on one is not meet
Who through rapine gave defeat
To those who did not him with war greet.

To rest and respite give is good,
But those who have such leisure should
Seek to mend what wrongs they could
If they of gifts be worthy would.
