statim beatissimi saeculi ortu Nerva Caesar res olim dissociabiles miscuerit, principatum ac libertatem, augeatque cotidie felicitatem temporum Nerva Traianus, nec spem modo ac votum securitas publica, sed ipsius voti fiduciam ac robur adsumpersit, natura tamen infirmitatis humanae tardiora sunt remedia quam mala; et ut corpora nostra lente augescunt, cito extinguuntur, sic ingenia studiaque oppresseris facilius quam revocaveris: subit quippe etiam ipsius inertiae dulcedo, et invisa primo desidia  postremo amatur.
Nunc demum redit animus; et quamquam primo the first, from the very outset of this happy age, Nerva has united things long incompatible, the principate and liberty; Trajan is increasing daily the happiness of the times; and public confidence has not merely learned to hope and pray, but has received assurance of the fulfilment of its prayers and so has gained strength. Though it is true that from the nature of human frailty cure operates more slowly than disease, and as the body itself is slow to grow and quick to decay, so also it is easier to damp mens spirits and their enthusiasm than to revive them: for listlessness itself has a certain subtle charm which comes over us, and the languor we hate at first we learn to love.
