A qua tempestivus ad verecundiam transitus videtur: haec enim iustissimis viris praecepit ut privatas facultates neglegerent, publicas quam amplissimas esse cuperent, digna cui perinde atque caelesti numini templa exstruantur araeque consecrentur, quia parens est omnis honesti consilii, tutela sollemnium officiorum, magistra innocentiae, cara proximis, accepta alienis, omni loco, omni tempore favorabilem prae se ferens vultum.
From Poverty, the passage to Modesty seems timely. For she told the most just of men to neglect their private means while desiring the amplest for the public. She deserves that temples be erected and altars consecrated to her as to a celestial deity because she is the mother of every virtuous counsel, the guardian of regular duties, the teacher of innocence, dear to our nearest, acceptable to strangers, in every place and at every time bearing a welcome face.
