    Liber II Machabaeorum

    2 Maccabees

    40

    Sicut enim vinum semper bibere, aut semper aquam, contrarium est; alternis autem uti, delectabile: ita legentibus si semper exactus sit sermo, non erit gratus. Hic ergo erit consummatus.

    For as it is hurtful to drink always wine, or always water, but pleasant to use sometimes the one, and sometimes the other: so if the speech be always nicely framed, it will not be grateful to the readers. But here it shall be ended.

    Sicut nam vino semper bibe, aut semper aqua, contrario es; alterno autem ut, delectabile: ita lege si semper exige es sermone, non es grato. Hoc ergo es consumma.
