illa quidem in hoc opere praecipi
quis ferat vitandos soles atque ventos et nubila etiam
ac siccitates? ita, si dicendum in sole aut ventoso,
humido, calido die fuerit, reos deseremus? nam
crudum quidem aut saturum aut ebrium aut eiecto
modo vomitu, quae cavenda quidam monent, declamare neminem, qui sit mentis compos, puto.
