Cappadocas rigida pingues plausisse catasta. Rem duplica. Feci: jam triplex: jam mihi quartò, Jam decies redit in rugam. Depinge, ubi sistam. Inventus, Chrysippe, tui finitor acervi. Go, dare the storms and terrors of the main ; Brave hunger, thirst, and pawn your soul for gain: As interest bids, be sure to buy or sell; Still as you hoard, the mighty heap shall swell :Now twice, now thrice the sum it was before Now it is five; now it is ten times more : O good Chrysippus, you who sagely found Limits to number, and to space a bound, Instruct me here, and your assistance lend, That to this growing wealth I find an end. |
