Vir avarus poma colligit,
plurima et pulcherrima,
qualia inveniuntur, secundum poetas,
in hortis Alcinoi et Hesperidum.
Sed haec poma parcissime comedit:
poma bona comedere non audet,
sola poma corrupta sibi concedens!
Eius filius, valde liberalis,
sodales suos ad pomaria saepe ducit
et eis dicit,
"Accipite ex pomis omnia quae vultis,
praeter poma corrupta et marcescentia;
illa enim pater meus comedere mavult!"
Amici huic praecepto obtemperant,
libenter sibi poma optima colligentes.
Fabula indicat:
Nihil miserius est homine avaro,
quia non fruitur omnia haec bona
quae Deus ei fruenda concedit.
