Sed Quid Mirum, Licet Verbero, Et, Vt Proprie Notem, Porcus Impurus, Iste,
Inquam, Rhythmista, Naturam Et Ingenium Suum Eiusmodi Loidoria Prodiderit?
Notum est enim porcos, cum hortos amanissimos intrarint, nec lilium nec
rosas aut flores alioqui pulcherrimos et suauissimos decerpere:
Sed rostro
in coenum prono, quicquid est luti et stercoris volutare, vertere et
inuertere, donec impurissima, hoc est, suo genio apprime congruentia
eruant, vbi demum solida voluptate pascuntur.
Ad istum igitur modum hic porcus Rythmista, optima, et qua in nostra Repub.
laudabilia esse possunt, sicco pede praterit, pessima quaque atque ea, vel
a nullo, vel admodum paucis designata, hoc est, sua natura, et ingenio
aptissima, vt se esse, qui dicitur, re ipsa probaret, corrasit; vnde
posthac porci nomen ex moribus et ingenio ipsius factum, sortitor.
