Afflictor, intuendo quod servo malos,

Bonosque perdo. Si bonos servo, tamen

Mihi miscellum cor timore liquitur.

Quid hic boni ergo est? unicam annon sufficit

Effundere animam, nisi crucieris amplius?

Et adhuc similiter:--

Vetus stat mihi persuasio,

Plantare filios nunquam hominem oportuit,

Dum cernit ad quot gignimus natos mala.

In his autem, quae deinceps sequuntur, malorum quoque causam evidenter reducit ad principia, sic dicens:--

O! miser natus, malisque obnoxius

Editus, homo, es, vitae tuaeque miserriam
