[1] Quid opus est partes deflere ? Tota flebilis vita est; urgebunt nova incommoda, priusquam veteribus satis feceris. Moderandum est itaque vobis maxime, quae immoderate fertis, et in multos dolores humani pectoris vis ¹ dispensanda. Quae deinde ista suae publicaeque condicionis oblivio est ? Mortalis nata es, mortales peperisti. Putre ipsa fluidumque corpus et causis morborum repetita ² sperasti tam imbecilla materia solida et aeterna gestasse ?
