nam quid rusticitas non crederet indomitorum stulta virum, pecudes inter ritusque ferinos dedere sueta animum diae rationis egenum? in quamcumque fidem nebulonis callida traxit nequitia, infelix facilem gens praebuit aurem.
For what would those foolish, rude, uncivilised folk not believe, who were wont to bestow all their attention on dealing with cattle and the ways of beasts, and whose minds were devoid of heavenly reason? No matter to what belief the wastrels cunning profligacy drew them, the luckless race lent a ready ear.
