Gloria vero aut unde oriatur aut cuius sit habitus aut qua ratione debeat comparari, et an melius a virtute velut non necessaria neglegatur viderint ii quorum in contemplandis eius modi rebus cura teritur, quibusque quae prudenter animadverterunt facunde contigit eloqui.
Whence comes glory? What is it like? How should it be gained? Is it better neglected by virtue as unnecessary? I leave these questions to those who take pains in contemplating such matters and who have the faculty to express eloquently what they have wisely observed. In this work I am content to give to deeds their doers and to doers their deeds, and shall attempt to show by appropriate examples how strong the appetite for it is wont to be.
