Quid enim sibi uoluit princeps suorum temporum Metellus Pius tunc, cum in Hispania aduentus suos ab hospitibus aris et ture excipi patiebatur? cum Attalicis aulaeis contectos parietes laeto animo intuebatur? cum inmanibus epulis apparatissimos interponi ludos sinebat? cum palmata ueste conuiuia celebrabat demissasque lacunaribus aureas coronas uelut caelesti capite recipiebat? et ubi ista? non in Graecia neque in Asia, quarum luxuria seueritas ipsa corrumpi poterat, sed in horrida et bellicosa prouincia, cum praesertim acerrimus hostis Sertorius Romanorum exercituum oculos Lusitanis telis praestringeret: adeo illi patris sui Numidica castra exciderant. patet igitur quam celeri transitu luxuria affluxerit: nam cuius adulescentia priscos mores uidit, senectus nouos orsa est.
