Sed cura est illi non quia laboraturus est, nec quoniam brevis illi vita est: sed concertatur aurificibus et argentariis; sed et ærarios imitatur, et gloriam præfert, quoniam res supervacuas fingit.
But his care is, not that he shall labour, nor that his life is short, but he striveth with the goldsmiths and silversmiths: and he endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it a glory to make vain things.
Sed cura es ad illo non quia labora es, nec quia brevi ad illo vita es: sed aurifices et argentario concerta; sed et aerario imita, et gloria praefer, quia res supervacuo finge.
