Horacio el 15 epicúreo y sibarita junto con el tierno Virgilio, en cuyos versos se ve palpitar y derretirse el corazón de la inflamada Dido; Ovidio el narigudo, tan sublime como obsceno y adulador, junto con Marcial, el tunante lenguaraz y conceptista; Tibulo el apasionado con Cicerón el grande; el severo 20 Tito Livio con el terrible Tácito, verdugo de los Césares; Lucrecio el panteísta; Juvenal, que con la pluma desollaba; Plauto, el que imaginó las mejores comedias de la antigüedad dando vueltas a la rueda de un molino; Séneca el filósofo, de quien se dijo que el mejor acto de su vida fué la 25 muerte; Quintiliano el retórico; Salustio el pícaro, que tan bien habla de la virtud; ambos Plinios, Suetonio y Varrón, en una palabra, todas las letras latinas, desde que balbucieron su primera palabra con Livio Andronico, hasta que exhalaron su postrer suspiro con Rutilio.

But I would not be thought purposely to expose the weaknesses of popes and priests, lest I should seem to recede from my title, and make a satire instead of a panegyric: nor let anyone imagine that I reflect on good princes, by commending of bad ones: I did this only in brief, to shew that there is no one particular person can lead a comfortable life, except he be entered of my society, and retain me for his friend.
