iam illa septem praecepta sapientium
nonne quasdam vitae leges existimamus? si causam
ueneficii dicat adultera, non M. Catonis iudicio damnata videatur, qui nullam adulteram non eandem esse
veneficam dixit? nam sententiis quidem poetarum
non orationes modo sunt refertae sed libri etiam
philosophorum, qui quanquam inferiora omnia praeceptis suis ac litteris credunt, repetere tamen auctoritatem a plurimis versibus non fastidierunt.
