Original Sin
Horace, Satires 1.3.68-69 (tr. Christopher Smart):
Newer› ‹Older
For no one is born without vices: he is the best manPropertius 2.22.17 (my translation):
who is encumbered with the least.
nam vitiis nemo sine nascitur; optimus ille est,
qui minimis urgetur.
To each one at his birth Nature has given a flaw...
uni cuique dedit vitium natura creato...
uni codd.: unum Waardenburgh
