Tecum optime, deinde etiam cum mediocri amico. Tamen aberramus a proposito, et, ne longius, prorsus, inquam, Piso, si ista mala sunt, placet. An eum discere ea mavis, quae cum plane perdidiceriti nihil sciat? Quos quidem tibi studiose et diligenter tractandos magnopere censeo. Honesta oratio, Socratica, Platonis etiam. Restatis igitur vos;

Parvi enim primo ortu sic iacent, tamquam omnino sine animo sint. Quae cum ita sint, effectum est nihil esse malum, quod turpe non sit. Tollitur beneficium, tollitur gratia, quae sunt vincla concordiae. Is ita vivebat, ut nulla tam exquisita posset inveniri voluptas, qua non abundaret. Sint ista Graecorum; Id enim natura desiderat. Non minor, inquit, voluptas percipitur ex vilissimis rebus quam ex pretiosissimis.

Saepe ab Aristotele, a Theophrasto mirabiliter est laudata per se ipsa rerum scientia; Egone non intellego, quid sit don Graece, Latine voluptas? Sed utrum hortandus es nobis, Luci, inquit, an etiam tua sponte propensus es? Atque hoc loco similitudines eas, quibus illi uti solent, dissimillimas proferebas. Tum ego: Non mehercule, inquam, soleo temere contra Stoicos, non quo illis admodum assentiar, sed pudore impedior; Illa sunt similia: hebes acies est cuipiam oculorum, corpore alius senescit; Nullum inveniri verbum potest quod magis idem declaret Latine, quod Graece, quam declarat voluptas.

Callipho ad virtutem nihil adiunxit nisi voluptatem, Diodorus vacuitatem doloris. Sed ille, ut dixi, vitiose. Verum tamen cum de rebus grandioribus dicas, ipsae res verba rapiunt; Legimus tamen Diogenem, Antipatrum, Mnesarchum, Panaetium, multos alios in primisque familiarem nostrum Posidonium. Quam si explicavisset, non tam haesitaret. Ita enim vivunt quidam, ut eorum vita refellatur oratio. Aliter enim explicari, quod quaeritur, non potest. Quamquam tu hanc copiosiorem etiam soles dicere.

Itaque his sapiens semper vacabit. Tum ille: Tu autem cum ipse tantum librorum habeas, quos hic tandem

requiris? Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Huius, Lyco, oratione locuples, rebus ipsis ielunior. Tanti autem aderant vesicae et torminum morbi, ut nihil ad eorum magnitudinem posset accedere. Hic Speusippus, hic Xenocrates, hic eius auditor Polemo, cuius illa ipsa sessio fuit, quam videmus. Ergo ita: non posse honeste vivi, nisi honeste vivatur? Atque hoc loco similitudines eas, quibus illi uti solent, dissimillimas proferebas. Ratio enim nostra consentit, pugnat oratio. Bork Deinde prima illa, quae in congressu solemus: Quid tu, inquit, huc? Immo alio genere;

Non est igitur summum malum dolor. Quid sequatur, quid repugnet, vident. Placet igitur tibi, Cato, cum res sumpseris non concessas, ex illis efficere, quod velis? Quid ait Aristoteles reliquique Platonis alumni? Igitur neque stultorum quisquam beatus neque sapientium non beatus. Quamquam tu hanc copiosiorem etiam soles dicere.

Sed tempus est, si videtur, et recta quidem ad me. Ergo adhuc, quantum equidem intellego, causa non videtur fuisse mutandi nominis. Sic, et quidem diligentius saepiusque ista loquemur inter nos agemusque communiter. Quis animo aequo videt eum, quem inpure ac flagitiose putet vivere? Ut proverbia non nulla veriora sint quam vestra dogmata. Compensabatur, inquit, cum summis doloribus laetitia. Tu enim ista lenius, hic Stoicorum more nos vexat. Ait enim se, si uratur, Quam hoc suave! dicturum. Claudii libidini, qui tum erat summo ne imperio, dederetur. At, si voluptas esset bonum, desideraret. Et summatim quidem haec erant de corpore animoque dicenda, quibus quasi informatum est quid hominis natura postulet.

Quod cum ille dixisset et satis disputatum videretur, in oppidum ad Pomponium perreximus omnes. Illis videtur, qui illud non dubitant bonum dicere -; Quod ea non occurrentia fingunt, vincunt Aristonem; Quae dici eadem de ceteris virtutibus possunt, quarum omnium fundamenta vos in voluptate tamquam in aqua ponitis. Quis est enim, in quo sit cupiditas, quin recte

cupidus dici possit?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duarum enim vitarum nobis erunt instituta capienda. Tenesne igitur, inquam, Hieronymus Rhodius quid dicat esse summum bonum, quo putet omnia referri oportere? Quam tu ponis in verbis, ego positam in re putabam. Sic enim censent, oportunitatis esse beate vivere. Videamus animi partes, quarum est conspectus illustrior;

Callipho ad virtutem nihil adiunxit nisi voluptatem, Diodorus vacuitatem doloris. Illi enim inter se dissentiunt. Aut unde est hoc contritum vetustate proverbium: quicum in tenebris? Praeclare enim Plato: Beatum, cui etiam in senectute contigerit, ut sapientiam verasque opiniones assequi possit.
