Hoc in genere persaepe mihi admirandum videtur quid sit, quod omnes translatis et alienis magis delectentur verbis quam propriis et suis. Nam si res suum nomen et vocabulum proprium non habet, ut pes in navi, ut nexum, quod per libram agitur, ut in uxore divortium, necessitas cogit, quod non habeas, aliunde sumere; sed in suorum verborum maxima copia tamen homines aliena multo magis, si sunt ratione translata, delectant.

Id accidere credo, vel quod ingeni specimen est quoddam transilire ante pedes posita et alia longe repetita sumere; vel quod is, qui audit, alio ducitur cogitatione neque tamen aberrat, quae maxima est delectatio; vel quod in singulis verbis res ac totum simile conficitur; vel quod omnis translatio, quae quidem sumpta ratione est, ad sensus ipsos admovetur, maxime oculorum, qui est sensus acerrimus.
