Necessities
Horace, Satires 1.1.73-75 (tr. H. Rushton Fairclough):
Newer› ‹Older
Don't you know what money is for, what end it serves?
You may buy bread, greens, a measure of wine, and
such other things as would mean pain to our human nature, if withheld.
nescis quo valeat nummus, quem praebeat usum?
panis ematur, holus, vini sextarius; adde
quis humana sibi doleat natura negatis.
