XIV. BOOK I. CH. V. § 5.

[O wasteful riot, never well content]

[_]

Lucan, Pharsal. IV. 373–8, 380–1.

O wasteful riot, never well content
With low-priced fare; hunger ambitious
Of cates by land and sea far fetched and sent;
Vain glory of a table sumptuous;
Learn with how little life may be preserved.
In gold and myrrh they need not to carouse;
But with the brook the people's thirst is served,
Who, fed with bread and water, are not starved.
