erit optimum; sed certe sint
grandia et tumida, non stulta etiam et acrioribus
oculis intuenti ridicula: ut, si iam cedendum est,
impleat se declamator aliquando, dum sciat, ut
quadrupedes, cum viridi pabulo distentae sunt, sanguinis detractione curantur et sic ad cibos viribus
conservandis idoneos redeunt, ita sibi quoque tenuandas adipes, et quidquid humoris corrupti contraxerit, emittendum, si esse sanus ac robustus volet.
alioqui tumor ille inanis primo cuiusque veri operis
conatu deprehendetur.
