Atque ut eiusdem studii adiciam exemplum, praecipuae artis pictor equum ab exercitatione uenientem modo non uiuum labore industriae suae conprehenderat. cuius naribus spumas adicere cupiens tantus artifex in tam paruula materia multum ac diu frustra terebatur. indignatione deinde accensus spongeam omnibus inbutam coloribus forte iuxta se positam adprehendit et ueluti corrupturus opus suum tabulae inlisit. quam fortuna ad ipsas equi nares directam desiderium pictoris coegit explere. itaque quod ars adumbrare non ualuit casus imitatus est.
