- O wary Wisdom of the Man, that would
That Carthage Towres from Spoil should be forborn!
To th' end that his victorious People should
With cankring Leisure not be overworn;
He well foresaw, how that the Roman Courage,
Impatient of Pleasure's faint Desires,
Through Idleness, would turn to civil Rage,
And be her self the Matter of her Fires.
For in a People given all to Ease,
Ambition is engendred easily;
As in a vicious Body, gross Disease
Soon grows through Humours Superfluity.
That came to pass, when swoln with Plenty's Pride,
Nor Prince, nor Peer, nor Kin they Would abide. (en)
- O que celui estoit cautement sage
Qui conseilloit pour ne laisser moisir
Ses citoyens en paresseux loisir,
De pardonner aux rempars de Cartage !
Il prevoyoit que le Romain courage
Impatient du languissant plaisir
Par le repos se laisseroit saisir
À la fureur de la civile rage.
Aussi voit-on qu’en un peuple ocieux,
Comme l’humeur en un corps vicieux,
L’ambition facilement s’engendre.
Ce qui advint, quand l’envieux orgueil
De ne vouloir ni plus grand, ni pareil,
Rompit l’accord du beau-pere et du gendre. (en)
