Omnia postremo bona sensibus et mala tactu dissimili inter se pugnant perfecta figura; ne tu forte putes serrae stridentis acerbum horrorem constare elementis levibus aeque ac musaea mele, per chordas organici quae mobilibus digitis expergefacta figurant; neu simili penetrare putes primordia forma in nares hominum, cum taetra cadavera torrent et cum scena croco Cilici perfusa recens est araque Panchaeos exhalat propter odores; neve bonos rerum simili constare colores semine constituas, oculos qui pascere possunt, et qui conpungunt aciem lacrimareque cogunt aut foeda specie diri turpesque videntur.
Lastly, all things that are agreeable to our senses in touch and all that are disagreeable are in conflict, being made of dissimilar shapes: so that you must never think the harsh grating of a strident saw consists of elements as smooth as the melodies of music which harpers awaken and shape on the strings with nimble fingers; never think that first-beginnings of similar shape penetrate mens nostrils, when noisome corpses are roasting, and when the stage is freshly sprinkled with Cilician saffron, and the altar near by breathes Panchaean scents; never suppose that agreeable colours fit to feed our sight consist of seed like those which make the eye tingle and force it to weep, or such as by their ugly aspect seem terrible and vile.
