primore loco, quod iure ceteris laudibus anteponemus, servat inlaesam domino domus par pudicitiam; servi utiles: rustici morigeri, urbani amici oboedientes patronoque contenti; mensa non minus pascens hospitem quam clientem; humanitas grandis grandiorque sobrietas.
First and foremost'for it is with good reason that I shall put this merit before all the others'his home, like its master, preserves an untarnished purity. His slaves are efficient; those in the country are ready helpers, while his town servants are friendly, obedient, and contented with their patron. His table is as open to the guest as to the retainer; his kindness is great, but greater is his sobriety.
