Ad invidiam usque Polycratis, Samiorum tyranni, abundantissimis bonis conspicuus vitae fulgor excessit, nec sine causa: omnes enim conatus eius placido excipiebantur itinere, spes certum cupitae rei fructum apprehendebant, vota nuncupabantur simul et solvebantur, velle ac posse in aequo positum erat.
The life of Polycrates, tyrant of the Samians, was brilliant to conspicuous excess and the arousing of envy by its abundance of blessings, as well it might. All his enterprises found an easy path to further them, his hopes seized assured enjoyment of the object desired, his vows were discharged as soon as taken, the wish and the power to attain it stood level.
