XXIII. HORACE, Ars Poët. 193.
Actoris partes chorus officiumque virile
Defendat; neu quid medios intercinat actus,
Quod non proposito conducat et hæreat aptè.
Ille bonis faveatque et consilietur amicis:
Et regat iratos, et amet peccare timentes.
Ille dapes laudet mensæ brevis, ille salubrem
Justitiam, legesque et apertis otia portis ;
Ille tegat commissa, Deosque precetur et oret
Ut redeat miseris, abeat fortuna superbis.
