CXIV.

Rightly a lordly demesne makes Firman Mentula count for

Wealthy! the rich fine things, then the variety there!

Game in plenty to choose, fish, field, and meadow with hunting;

Only the waste exceeds strangely the quantity still.

Wealthy? perhaps I grant it; if all, wealth asks for, is absent. 5

Praise the demesne? no doubt; only be needy the man.
