Quis fluere occultis rerum neget omina causis? Fata patent homini, piget inservare, peritque venturi praemissa fides: sic omina casum fecimus, et vires hausit Fortuna nocendi.
Who would deny that omens flow from the hidden causes of things? The Fates lie open to man, but he cares not to observe and the foreshown assurance of the future is wasted. So of omens we have made chance, and Fortune has drawn power to harm.
