ut praeco , ad merces turbam qui cogit emendas , adsentatores iubet ad lucrum ire poeta dives agris , dives positis in fenore nummis . si vero est , unctum qui recte ponere possit et spondere levi pro paupere et eripere artis litibus inplicitum , mirabor , si sciet inter - noscere mendacem verumque beatus amicum . tu seu donaris seu quid donare voles cui , nolito ad versus tibi factos ducere plenum laetitiae ; clamabit enim ' pulchre ! bene ! recte !'
as
a
crier
who
collects
the
crowd
together
to
buy
his
goods
,
so
a
poet
rich
in
land
,
rich
in
money
put
out
at
interest
,
invites
flatterers
to
come
[
and
praise
his
works]
for
a
reward
.
but
if
he
be
one
who
is
well
able
to
set
out
an
elegant
table
,
and
give
security
for
a
poor
man
,
and
relieve
him
when
entangled
in
gloomy
law
-
suits
;
i
shall
wonder
if
with
his
wealth
he
can
distinguish
a
true
friend
from
a
false
one
.
