Illud in his rebus ne corripuisse rearis me mihi, quod terram atque ignem mortalia sumpsi esse, neque umorem dubitavi aurasque perire, atque eadem gigni rursusque augescere dixi, principio pars terrai nonnulla, perusta solibus adsiduis, multa pulsata pedum vi, pulveris exhalat nebulam nubesque volantis quas validi toto dispergunt aere venti.
To show you that I have not here begged the question, when I assumed that earth and fire are subject to death, when I did not hesitate to say that water and air perish and are born again and increase once more, in the first place a large part of the earth, scorched with incessant suns and trampled by a host of feet, exhales a cloud of dust and flying mists which the strong winds disperse abroad through the whole sky.
