Huius tam praeclari operis auctor Camillus, cum esset precatus ut, si cui deorum nimia felicitas populi Romani uideretur, eius inuidia suo aliquo incommodo satiaretur, subito lapsu decidit. quod omen ad damnationem, qua postea oppressus est, pertinuisse uisum est. merito autem de laude inter se uictoria et pia precatio amplissimi uiri certauerint: aeque enim uirtutis est et bona patriae auxisse et mala in se transferri uoluisse.
