qui solus Tantali vice in suis divitiis inops, egens, pauper non quidem fructum illum fugitivum captat et fallacis undae sitit, sed verae beatitudinis, id est secundae vitae et prudentiae fortunatissimae, esurit et sitit, quippe non intellegit aeque divites spectari debere ut equos mercamur.
He alone is like Tantalus'destitute, needy, poor in the midst of his riches; he does not strain at that elusive fruit and thirst for that deceptive water, but hungers and thirsts for true blessedness, that is, for a contented life and a full measure of wisdom. He does not understand, you see, that we should examine the rich in the same way as we purchase horses.
