[19] qua re gaude tuo¹ isto tam excellenti bono et fruere cum fortuna et gloria tum etiam natura et moribus tuis; ex quo quidem maximus est fructus iucunditasque sapienti. cetera cum tua recordabere, etsi persaepe virtuti, tamen plerumque felicitati tuae gratulabere: de nobis quos in re publica tecum simul² esse voluisti quotiens cogitabis, totiens de maximis tuis beneficiis, totiens de incredibili liberalitate, totiens de singulari sapientia³ cogitabis: quae non modo summa bona sed nimirum audebo vel sola dicere. tantus est⁴ enim splendor in laude vera, tanta in magnitudine animi et consili dignitas ut haec a virtute donata, cetera a fortuna commodata esse videantur.
