"Non fit thesauris non auro pectu' solutum; Non demunt animis curas et religiones Persarum montes, non atria diviti' Crassi." The style here reminds us strongly of Horace. From the Bimarcus.

The tenor of the original ran as follows: "Si fixum solvas, faciasque volare solutum, Et volucrem figas, facient te vivere tutum; Si pariat ventum, valet auri pondere centum; Ventus ubi vult spirat Capiat qui capere potest."
