aut, ni ita se res haberet, Anaxagoras aut hic ipse Democritus agros et patrimonia sua reliquissent, huic discendi quaerendique divinae delectationi toto se animo dedissent? itaque augurem Tiresiam, quem sapientem fingunt poëtae, numquam inducunt deplorantem caecitatem suam; at vero Polyphemum Homerus cum inmanem ferumque finxisset, cum ariete etiam conloquentem facit eiusque laudare fortunas, quod, qua vellet, ingredi posset et, quae vellet, attingere. recte hic quidem; nihilo enim erat ipse Cyclops quam aries ille prudentior.
