Notes

Qui serere ingenuum uolet agrum liberat arua prius fruticibus,
falce rubos filicemque resecat,
ut noua fruge grauis Ceres eat.

Who fain would sow the fallow field, And see the growing corn,
Must first remove the useless weeds, The bramble and the thorn.
Poem I, lines 1-4; translation by H. R. James

first remove the useless weeds, the bramble, and the thorn.


Tu quoque falsa tuens bona prius incipe colla iugo retrahere:
Vera dehinc animum subierint.
By first recognizing false goods, you begin to escape the burden of their influence; then afterwards true goods may gain possession of your spirit.
