"Get up, come, come quickly: leave the city merchants,
lawyers, pimps, loan sharks ...
to the cheaters, the sorcerers, the adulterers, the
parasites, the slackers ...
Let them do: do not belong to our race.
let the rich count their money in using this aid of mathematics.
Indeed, the eternal riches that would go away.
Anything that makes them the object of admiration to the crowd,
vanish in a moment.
They live under the dominion of fortune: even
this has saved them, save them
not death. "
Francesco Petrarca
