Young man, although you hurry, yet this stone
Asks that you look upon itself, and then
Read what is written there. Here lie at rest
Marcus Pacuvius his bones. I wished
That you should be aware of this. Farewell.

Fortunam insanam esse et caecam et brutam perhibent philosophi, ...
Insanam autem esse aiunt quia atrox incerta instabilisque sit;
caecam ob eam rem esse iterant quia nil cernat quo sese adplicet;
brutam quia dignum atque indignum nequeat internoscere.
Sunt autem alii philosophi qui contra Fortunam negant
esse ullam sed temeritate res regi umnes autumant.
Id magis verisimile esse usus reapse experiundo edocet.
