Viribus at fractis tandem se projicit ultro Vix ibi stratus, equi sonitum pedis audit, et, oh spe Dorsum (inquit) mihi, chare, tuum concede, tuoque Me meus, ut nosti, pes prodit-fidus amicus Fert quodcunque lubens, nec grave sentit, onus. Proximus armenti dominus bos solicitatus Auxilium his verbis se dare posse negat. Quando quadrupedum, quot vivunt, nullus amicum Utar, et absque metu ne tibi displiceam; Hinc me mandat amor. Juxta istum messis acervum Febrem (ait hircus) habes. Heu, sicca ut lumina languent! Utque caput, collo deficiente, jacet! Hirsutum mihi tergum; et forsan læserit ægrum, Vellere eris melius fultus, ovisque venit. Me mihi fecit onus natura, ovis inquit, anhelans Me nec velocem nec fortem jacto, solentque Remne ego, respondet vitulus, suscepero tantam, Ignoscas oro. Fidissima dissociantur Corda, et tale tibi sat liquet esse meum. Ecce autem ad calces canis est! te quanta perempto AVARUS ET PLUTUS. ICTA fenestra Euri flatu stridebat, avarus O mihi, ait, misero mens quam tranquilla fuisset, O inimicum aurum! O homini infestissima pestis, Aurum homines suasit contemnere quicquid honestum est, Aurum cuncta mali per terras semina sparsit; Aurum nocturnis furibus arma dedit. Bella docet fortes, timidosque ad pessima ducit, Nec vitii quicquam est, quod non inveneris ortum Arcam clausit avarus, et ora horrentia rugis Questibus his raucis mihi cur, stulte, obstrepis aures? Commaculavi egone humanum genus, improbe? Culpa, Virtutis specie, pulchro ceu pallio amictus Hinc, nimium dum latro aurum detrudit in arcam, Tum, quasi numen inesset, alit, fovet, educat orbos, Aurum animæ pretium qui cupit atque capit? Lege pari gladium incuset sicarius atrox Caso homine, et ferrum judicet esse reum. PAPILIO ET LIMAX. QUI subito ex imis rerum in fastigia surgit, TRANSLATION OF A SIMILE IN PARADISE LOST.
