Praemia cum poscit medicus, Sathan est. We are angels when we come to cure devils when we ask payment but I will administer a purgation to his purse I warrant him. There is his brother too, a sordid chuff. So ho, there! Saunders Darlet! you have been ill, I hear?" "Just got the turn, as I was thinking to send to your honour, and I am brawly now again it was nae great thing that ailed me."
The poet himself seems to allude to his disappointing failure in the Ciris: expertum fallacis praemia volgi. How could he but fail? He never learned to cram his convictions into mere phrases, and his judgments into all-inclusive syllogisms. When he has done his best with human behavior, and the sentence is pronounced, he spoils the whole with a rebellious dis aliter visum.

A sympathy for them must have been deep in the gentle philosopher of the garden: O male deuoti, praetorum crimina, agelli! Tuque inimica pii semper discordia ciuis. Exsul ego indemnatus egens mea rura reliqui, Miles ut accipiat funesti praemia belli.

Sunt sua praemia laudi, says Virgil; and so Cicero, Nihil habet natura praestantius, quam honestatem, quam laudem, quam dignitatem, quam decus, which he tells you are all names for the same thing. This is the language of the heathen philosophers, who well understood wherein their notions of virtue and vice consisted.
Finally, the Aetna is by a student of Epicurean philosophy largely influenced by Lucretius. It would be difficult to make a stronger case short of a contemporaneous attribution. Quare quae cantus meditanti mittere caecos Magna mihi cupido tribuistis praemia divae. What other poem could he have had in mind?
In his description of the choice of animals for procreation, in the third chapter of his Georgic's, and the 49th verse, you will find it thus written: "Seu quis Olympiacea mieratus praemia palme, "Pascit Equos, feu quis fortes ad aratra Juvencos, "Corpora praecipue matrum legat."
