quid credis illi accidere qui magnas opes exaggerare quaerit omni vigilia, docto labori dulce praeponens lucrum? sed iam, quodcumque fuerit, ut dixit Sinon ad regem cum Dardaniae perductus foret, librum exarabo tertium Aesopi stilo, honori et meritis dedicans illum tuis.
What do you suppose happens in the case of a man who strives at every waking moment to heap up great riches and prefers sweet lucre to the task of learning? But now, whatever may come of it (as Sinon said when he was led before the King of Dardania), I will trace out a third book with Aesops pen, dedicating it to you in recognition of your honour and worth.
