Venderet excultos colles cum praeco facetus
atque suburbani iugera pulchra soli,
'Errat' ait 'si quis Mario putat esse necesse
uendere: nil debet, fenerat immo magis.'
'Quae ratio est igitur?' 'Seruos ibi perdidit omnes
et pecus et fructus; non amat inde locum.'
Quis faceret pretium nisi qui sua perdere uellet
omnia? Sic Mario noxius haeret ager.
