Cum exercere proludia disciplinae castrensis philosophus cogeretur ut princeps, artemque modulatius incedendi per pyrricham concinentibus disceret fistulis, vetus illud proverbium clitellae bovi sunt impositae; plane non est nostrum onus Platonem crebro nominans exclamabat.
When this philosopher, being a prince, was forced to practise the rudiments of military training and learn the art of marching rhythmically in pyrrhic measure to the harmony of the pipes, he often used to call on Platos name, quoting that famous old saying: A pack-saddle is put on an ox; that is surely no burden for me.
