Ex otio Negotium | ||
Ad Decianum Epig. 9.
Because thou follow'st so in thy intentsGreat Thrasea's, and brave Cato's presidents,
That thou maist be secure: nor runn'st thy brest
Naked on drawn Swords in a frantick jest,
(Decian) thou dost what I would have thee do:
I like not him, who to redeem, or wo
An empty fame by's easie blood is rais'd,
Give me the man that lives and yet is prais'd.
