Quamvis vota libens excipiat deus Multi prodigus auri Et claris avidos ornet honoribus, Nil iam parta videntur, Sed quaesita vorans saeva rapacitas Alios pandit hiatus.
Even were God with much gold prodigal, Answering mens prayers, And heaped bright honours on those wanting them, Their gains would seem to them Nothing: ever their cruel gain-devouring greed Opens new maws.
