Pecunia prima quaerenda, virtus post nummos. Mind you, I do not expect to be as well paid as Sannazarius. "Who the deuse was he?" I hear you growling. My dear Iberian friend, I really thought that you knew everything; but I find that you have set up for an Admirable Crichton upon an inadequate capital.
"Populus me sibilat; at mihi plaudo Ipse domi, simul ac nummos contemplor in arca." And never did a man submit to infamy for anything but its true reward, money.
