"I lay before you the light, the torch, the model, the measure, the wide mirror:

"This saying was said of one who spoke as a nobleman to the common folk. He placed a very good discourse before the common folk. He said to them:

"Before you I set up that which is like a torch, like a light. And I place before you that which is like a mirror. Or I give you your model, which is like your measure; from it you are to take yourself a model, you are to take yourself an example, in order to live well, or in order to speak well."
