at in figura
totius voluntatis fictio est apparens magis quam
confessa, ut illic verba sint verbis diversa, hic sensus

cum etiam vita universa ironiam habere videatur,

agens imperitum et admiratorem aliorum tanquam
sapientium; ut, quemadmodum ἀλληγορίαν facit continua ἀλληγορίαν sic hoc schema faciat tropos ille
contextus.
