Non mihi sit laudi, quod eram velut alter Apelles, Sed quod lucra tuis omnia, Christe, dabam; Altera nam terris opera extant, altera cœlo; Urbs me Joannem Flos tulit Etruriæ.
"Give me not praise for being almost a second Apelles, but because I gave to thy poor, O Christ, all my earnings. Thus part of my work remains on earth and part in heaven. My home was in that city, which is the Flower of Etruria."
