'Si det iniqua tibi tristem fortuna reatum,
squalidus haerebo pallidiorque reo:
si iubeat patria damnatum excedere terra,
per freta, per scopulos exulis ibo comes.'
Dat tibi diuitias: ecquid sunt ista duorum?
Das partem? Multum est? Candide, das aliquid?
Mecum eris ergo miser: quod si deus ore sereno
adnuerit, felix, Candide, solus eris.
