Fortunam adhuc adversam tulisti: secundae res acrioribus stimulis animos explorant, quia miseriae tolerantur, felicitate corrumpimur. Fidem, libertatem, amicitiam, praecipua humani animi bona, tu quidem eadem constantia retinebis: sed alii per obsequium imminuent. Irrumpet adulatio, blanditiae, pessimum veri adfectus venenum, sua cuique utilitas.

That is a vein which would be bridled; Parce, puer, stimulis, et fortius utere loris. And, generally, men ought to find the difference between saltness and bitterness. Certainly, he that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others' memory.

I will not say to you, upon this occasion, like the father in Ovid, "Parce, puer, stimulis, et fortius utere loris." On the contrary, drive on briskly; it is not the chariot of the sun that you drive, but you carry the sun in your chariot; consequently, the faster it goes, the less it will be likely to scorch or consume. This is Spanish enough, I am sure.

non est tua tuta voluntas. Magna petis, Phaëton, et quæ nec viribus istis Munera conveniant, nec tam puerilibus annis! They should have given him the salutary caution that the fiery steeds which he aspired to guide required the hand of restraint and not the voice of incitement 'Sponte suâ properant; labor est inhibere voluntas; Parce, puer, stimulis, ac fortius uteri loris.
