Officia etiam ferae sentiunt, nec ullum tam immansuetum animal est, quod non cura mitiget et in
amorem sui vertat. Leonum ora a magistris impune
[p. 12]
tractantur, elephantorum feritatem usque in servile
obsequium demeretur cibus ; adeo etiam, quae extra
intellectum atque aestimationem beneficii posita sunt,
adsiduitas tamen meriti pertinacis evincit. Ingratus
est adversus unum beneficium ? Adversus alterum
non erit. Duorum oblitus est ? Tertium etiam in
eorum, quae exciderunt, memoriam reducet.
