Devoted constantly to food and copulation, having abandoned all other duties, / there are indeed in this world empty-minded men pleased merely by a throat and a belly. / Resembling sheep, they place their heads without suspicion in the lap of one resolved on slaughter, / who robs all their possessions in an instant, as if in the lap of a trusted friend.
