Et cum ista, quae habes, magno
aestimes, quod est ingrati hominis, nulli debere te
iudicas ? Unde tibi istum, quem trahis, spiritum ?
Unde istam, per quam actus vitae tuae disponis atque
ordinas, lucem ? Unde sanguinem, cuius cursu vitalis
continetur calor ? Unde ista palatum tuum saporibus
exquisitis ultra satietatem lacessentia ? Unde haec
irritamenta iam lassae voluptatis ? Unde ista quies,
in qua putrescis ac marces ?
