| Superabundans autem et bannausus in praeter quod oportet consumendo superabundat, quemadmodum dictum est; in parvis enim sumptuum multa consumit et resplendet praeter melodiam (et est parabola quaedam), puta histriones nuptialiter cibans et comoedis tribuens, in transitu purpuram inferens, quemadmodum Megares. Et omnia talia non boni faciet gratia, sed divitias ostentans et propter hoc existimans admirari. Et ubi quidem oportet multa consumere pauca consumens, ubi autem pauca, multa. [732] | One who sins by excess, the vulgarian, is immoderate in spending contrary to what he ought, as has been pointed out. He expends great sums on paltry things, and his lavishness is out of harmony, figuratively speaking. He banquets buffoons with dishes fit for a marriage feast, gives presents to comedians, and rolls out a red carpet for their entry like the Megarians. In all such affairs, he does not act to attain the good, but to show off his wealth, hoping in this way for admiration. Where grand outlays are called for, he spends little; where small expenditures are in order, he lays out much. [732] |
