Nature breeds,
perverse, all monstrous, all prodigious things,
abominable, inutterable, and worse
than fables yet have feign'd, or fear conceiv'd,
Gorgons, and Hydras, and Chimeras dire.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is a proverb. Its meaning is that without time off from work, a person becomes bored and boring. But some writers have added a second part to the proverb, as in Harry and Lucy Concluded (1825) by the Irish novelist Maria Edgeworth: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, all play and no work makes Jack a mere toy".
