Reges
et principes dixi, quibus tamen potest opera navari
et quorum illa excellens potentia per minorum consensum ministeriumque constat. At sunt quidam
extra omnem subducti cupiditatem, qui vix ullis
humanis desideriis continguntur ; quibus nihil potest
praestare ipsa fortuna. Necesse est a Socrate beneficiis vincar, necesse est a Diogene, qui per medias Macedonum gazas nudus incessit calcatis regis
opibus.
