Nemo itaque beneficiis
vincitur, quia tam gratus est quisque, quam voluit.
Nam si turpe est beneficiis vinci, non oportet a praepotentibus viris accipere beneficium, quibus gratiam referre non possis, a principibus dico, a regibus, quos
eo loco fortuna posuit, ex quo largiri multa possent
pauca admodum et imparia datis recepturi.
