Non
das virtuti fundamentum grave, immobile, sed iubes
illam in loco volubili stare ; quid autem tam volubile
est, quam fortuitorum expectatio et corporis rerumque
corpus adficientium varietas ? Quomodo hic potest
deo parere et quicquid evenit bono animo excipere
[p. 138]
nec de fato queri casuum suorum benignus interpres,
si ad voluptatum dolorumque punctiunculas concutitur ? Sed ne patriae quidem bonus tutor aut vindex est nec amicorum propugnator, si ad voluptates
vergit.
