Subsecuntur utilia, quorum varia et lata materia
est ; hic erit pecunia non superfluens sed ad sanum
modum habendi parata ; hic erit honor et processus
ad altiora tendentium ; nec enim utilius quicquam
est quam sibi utilem fieri.
Iam cetera ex abundanti veniunt delicatos factura.
In his sequemur, ut opportunitate grata sint, ut non
vulgaria, quaeque aut pauci habuerint aut pauci intra
hanc aetatem aut hoc modo, quae, etiam si natura
pretiosa non sunt, tempore aut loco fiant.
