"Observatur oculis ille vir, quo neminem ætas nostra graviorem, sanc-
tiorem, subtiliorem denique tulit: quem ego, quum ex admiratione diligere
cœpissem, quod evenire contrà solet, magis admiratus sum, postquam pe-
nitus inspexi. Inspexi enim penitus: nihil a me ille secretum, non joculare,
non serium, non triste, non lætum."
