quare, vir sanctissime, Particulo, chartis nomen victurum meis, Latinis dum manebit pretium litteris, si non ingenium, certe brevitatem adproba; quae commendari tanto debet iustius, quanto cantores sunt molesti validius.
Therefore, Particulo, most honoured sir, you may approve, if not of my talent, at least of my brevity, since your name is bound to live in my writings as long as Latin literature is valued. This brevity of mine deserves all the more to be commended, in proportion as long-winded poets are a greater nuisance.
