" Si nocere,"
inquit, " mihi possum, quare non et beneficium mihi
dare possim ? Praeterea quae, si in alium contulissem, beneficia vocarentur, quare, si in me contuli,
non sint ? Quod, si ab altero accepissem, deberem,
quare, si mihi ipse dedi, non debeam ? Quare sim
adversus me ingratus, quod non minus turpe est
quam in se sordidum esse et in se durum ae saevum
et sui neclegentem ?
