Bestiarum vero nullum iudicium puto. At quicum ioca seria, ut dicitur, quicum arcana, quicum occulta omnia? Sit sane ista voluptas. Tum Quintus: Est plane, Piso, ut dicis, inquit. Quod autem principium officii quaerunt, melius quam Pyrrho; Quo invento omnis ab eo quasi capite de summo bono et malo disputatio ducitur. Ac tamen hic mallet non dolere. Cur fortior sit, si illud, quod tute concedis, asperum et vix ferendum putabit?

Atque haec coniunctio confusioque virtutum tamen a philosophis ratione quadam distinguitur. Ea, quae dialectici nunc tradunt et docent, nonne ab illis instituta sunt aut inventa sunt? Habes, inquam, Cato, formam eorum, de quibus loquor, philosophorum. Conclusum est enim contra Cyrenaicos satis acute, nihil ad Epicurum. Sed quid attinet de rebus tam apertis plura requirere? Qua tu etiam inprudens utebare non numquam. Quod equidem non reprehendo; Sed quid minus probandum quam esse aliquem beatum nec satis beatum?

Quo modo autem optimum, si bonum praeterea nullum est? Ex rebus enim timiditas, non ex vocabulis nascitur. Beatum, inquit. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Tu vero, inquam, ducas licet, si sequetur; Certe, nisi voluptatem tanti aestimaretis. Nam cui proposito sit conservatio sui, necesse est huic partes quoque sui caras suo genere laudabiles. Sit hoc ultimum bonorum, quod nunc a me defenditur;

Erit enim instructus ad mortem contemnendam, ad exilium, ad ipsum etiam dolorem. Ita enim vivunt quidam, ut eorum vita refellatur oratio. Videamus igitur sententias eorum, tum ad verba redeamus. Cupit enim dícere nihil posse ad beatam vitam deesse sapienti. Ita multo sanguine profuso in laetitia et in victoria est mortuus. Ergo et avarus erit, sed finite, et adulter, verum habebit modum, et luxuriosus eodem modo. Sextilio Rufo, cum is rem ad amicos ita deferret, se esse heredem Q. Atqui, inquam, Cato, si istud optinueris, traducas me ad te totum licebit. Sextilio Rufo, cum is rem ad amicos ita deferret, se esse

heredem Q. Cum ageremus, inquit, vitae beatum et eundem supremum diem, scribebamus haec.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Atque haec coniunctio confusioque virtutum tamen a philosophis ratione quadam distinguitur. Duo enim genera quae erant, fecit tria. Nulla profecto est, quin suam vim retineat a primo ad extremum. Nihil enim iam habes, quod ad corpus referas;

Vidit Homerus probari fabulam non posse, si cantiunculis tantus irretitus vir teneretur; Sextilio Rufo, cum is rem ad amicos ita deferret, se esse heredem Q. Tecum optime, deinde etiam cum mediocri amico. Negat enim summo bono afferre incrementum diem. Quod autem satis est, eo quicquid accessit, nimium est; Eam si varietatem diceres, intellegerem, ut etiam non dicente te intellego; Hanc se tuus Epicurus omnino ignorare dicit quam aut qualem esse velint qui honestate summum bonum metiantur. Quorum sine causa fieri nihil putandum est. Quae hic rei publicae vulnera inponebat, eadem ille sanabat. Tum mihi Piso: Quid ergo?

Prave, nequiter, turpiter cenabat; Iam doloris medicamenta illa Epicurea tamquam de narthecio proment: Si gravis, brevis; Quo plebiscito decreta a senatu est consuli quaestio Cn. Sed tu istuc dixti bene Latine, parum plane. Quid adiuvas? Paulum, cum regem Persem captum adduceret, eodem flumine invectio?

Quae cum magnifice primo dici viderentur, considerata minus probabantur. Nam memini etiam quae nolo, oblivisci non possum quae volo. An est aliquid per se ipsum flagitiosum, etiamsi nulla comitetur infamia? Nam quibus rebus efficiuntur voluptates, eae non sunt in potestate sapientis. Quamquam ab iis philosophiam et omnes ingenuas disciplinas habemus; Sed haec quidem liberius ab eo dicuntur et saepius. Tamen a proposito, inquam, aberramus. Virtutis, magnitudinis animi, patientiae, fortitudinis fomentis dolor mitigari solet. His enim rebus detractis negat se reperire in asotorum vita quod reprehendat.

Beatus autem esse in maximarum

rerum timore nemo potest. Quae iam oratio non a philosopho aliquo, sed a censore opprimenda est. Non quaeritur autem quid naturae tuae consentaneum sit, sed quid disciplinae. An, partus ancillae sitne in fructu habendus, disseretur inter principes civitatis, P. Traditur, inquit, ab Epicuro ratio neglegendi doloris. Quod cum dixissent, ille contra. Eadem nunc mea adversum te oratio est. Age nunc isti doceant, vel tu potius quis enim ista melius? Qui ita affectus, beatum esse numquam probabis;

Tum Piso: Quoniam igitur aliquid omnes, quid Lucius noster? In quo etsi est magnus, tamen nova pleraque et perpauca de moribus. Quae contraria sunt his, malane? Mihi quidem Antiochum, quem audis, satis belle videris attendere. Nam aliquando posse recte fieri dicunt nulla expectata nec quaesita voluptate. Non quam nostram quidem, inquit Pomponius iocans;
