Non ergo est exiguarum frugum causa terrae vetustas, si modo, cum semel invasit senectus, regressum non habet nec revirescere aut repubescere potest; sed ne lassitudo quidem soli minuit agricolae fructum. Neque enim prudentis est adduci tamquam in hominibus nimiae corporis exercitationi aut oneris alicuius ponderi,sic cultibus et agitationibus agrorum fatigationem succedere.
