Quem tu librum, Aemiliane, si nosses ac non modo campo et glebis, verum etiam abaco et pulvisculo te dedisses, mihi istud crede, quamquam taeterrimum os tuum minimum a Thyesta tragico demutet, tamen profecto discendi cupidine speculum inviseres et aliquando relicto aratro mirarere tot in facie tua sulcos rugarum.
If you had known that book, Aemilianus, and had devoted yourself not merely to the field and the soil, but also to the board and powder, though your hideous face differs very little from Thyestes in tragedy, still curiosity would certainly have made you look in a mirror; you would occasionally have abandoned the plow and marveled at all the furrows seaming your face.
