quocirca insolenter fulgore fortunae suae glorianti respondit magis se probare securitate ridens tugurium quam tristem curis et sollicitudinibus aulam, paucasque glebas pavoris expertes quam pinguissima Lydiae arva metu referta, et unum aut alterum iugum boum facilis tutelae quam exercitus et arma et equitatum voracibus impensis onerosum, et usus necessarii horreolum nulli nimis appetendum quam thesauros omnium insidiis et cupiditatibus expositos.
Accordingly he replied to the questioner insolently glorying in the brilliance of his fortune that he approved a hut smiling in security rather than a palace glooming in cares and anxieties, a few clods free of fear rather than the richest lands of Lydia replete with apprehension, one or two yokes of oxen easy to tend rather than armies and weapons and cavalry burdensome with voracious expenses, a little storehouse of necessities to be craved overmuch by none rather than treasure chambers open to the plots and cupidities of all and sundry.
