Felices populi, si, quondam ut bella solebant, nunc quoque inexhaustas pax nostra relinqueret urbes! at, ni cura viri, qui nunc dedit otia mundo, effrenum arceret populandi cuncta furorem, nudassent avidae terrasque fretumque rapinae.
Happy would the nations be, if our peaceful governors would imitate our former generals and spare the cities from rapine. As it is, if that princeb who has now given peace to the world had not checked the unbridled passion for universal spoliation, land and sea would have been stripped bare by greedy robbers.
