In qua quid est boni praeter summam voluptatem, et eam sempiternam? Unum est sine dolore esse, alterum cum voluptate. An dolor longissimus quisque miserrimus, voluptatem non optabiliorem diuturnitas facit? Quare obscurentur etiam haec, quae secundum naturam esse dicimus, in vita beata; In qua si nihil est praeter rationem, sit in una virtute finis bonorum; Nemo igitur esse beatus potest.

Ait enim se, si uratur, Quam hoc suave! dicturum. Verum hoc idem saepe faciamus. Quoniam, si dis placet, ab Epicuro loqui discimus. Fortitudinis quaedam praecepta sunt ac paene leges, quae effeminari virum vetant in dolore. Summae mihi videtur inscitiae. Haec para/doca illi, nos admirabilia dicamus.

Causa autem fuit huc veniendi ut quosdam hinc libros promerem. Nam et complectitur verbis, quod vult, et dicit plane, quod intellegam; Itaque haec cum illis est dissensio, cum Peripateticis nulla sane. Hoc loco discipulos quaerere videtur, ut, qui asoti esse velint, philosophi ante fiant.

Vide, quantum, inquam, fallare, Torquate. Idem fecisset Epicurus, si sententiam hanc, quae nunc Hieronymi est, coniunxisset cum Aristippi vetere sententia. Nobis Heracleotes ille Dionysius flagitiose descivisse videtur a Stoicis propter oculorum dolorem. Egone quaeris, inquit, quid sentiam? Sed eum qui audiebant, quoad poterant, defendebant sententiam suam. An potest cupiditas finiri?

Istam voluptatem perpetuam quis potest praestare sapienti? Qui autem diffidet perpetuitati bonorum suorum, timeat necesse est, ne aliquando amissis illis sit miser. Solum praeterea formosum, solum liberum, solum civem, stultost; Stuprata per vim Lucretia a regis filio testata civis se ipsa interemit. Quonam modo? An est aliquid per se ipsum flagitiosum, etiamsi nulla comitetur infamia? Cur tantas regiones barbarorum pedibus obiit, tot maria transmisit? Nunc haec primum fortasse audientis servire debemus. Facile est hoc cernere in primis puerorum aetatulis. Sapientem locupletat ipsa

natura, cuius divitias Epicurus parabiles esse docuit. Unum nescio, quo modo possit, si luxuriosus sit, finitas cupiditates habere. Sine ea igitur iucunde negat posse se vivere? Ut nemo dubitet, eorum omnia officia quo spectare, quid sequi, quid fugere debeant?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Hoc etsi multimodis reprehendi potest, tamen accipio, quod dant. Quid igitur dubitamus in tota eius natura quaerere quid sit effectum? Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Sapientem locupletat ipsa natura, cuius divitias Epicurus parabiles esse docuit. Quis istum dolorem timet? Illa argumenta propria videamus, cur omnia sint paria peccata. O magnam vim ingenii causamque iustam, cur nova existeret disciplina! Perge porro.

Quod autem satis est, eo quicquid accessit, nimium est; Quid de Platone aut de Democrito loquar? Sin aliud quid voles, postea. Tum ille: Tu autem cum ipse tantum librorum habeas, quos hic tandem requiris? Cur id non ita fit? Quoniam, si dis placet, ab Epicuro loqui discimus. Eodem modo is enim tibi nemo

dabit, quod, expetendum sit, id esse laudabile. Minime id quidem, inquam, alienum, multumque ad ea, quae quaerimus, explicatio tua ista profecerit.

Qua ex cognitione facilior facta est investigatio rerum occultissimarum. Sed fac ista esse non inportuna; Est enim tanti philosophi tamque nobilis audacter sua decreta defendere. Certe nihil nisi quod possit ipsum propter se iure laudari. Venit ad extremum; Inquit, respondet: Quia, nisi quod honestum est, nullum est aliud bonum! Non quaero iam verumne sit; Tum Piso: Quoniam igitur aliquid omnes, quid Lucius noster? Quo igitur, inquit, modo?

Ergo in gubernando nihil, in officio plurimum interest, quo in genere peccetur. Sed quae tandem ista ratio est? Claudii libidini, qui tum erat summo ne imperio, dederetur. Deinde qui fit, ut ego nesciam, sciant omnes, quicumque Epicurei esse voluerunt? Duarum enim vitarum nobis erunt instituta capienda. Certe nihil nisi quod possit ipsum propter se iure laudari. Itaque hic ipse iam pridem est reiectus; Qui autem de summo bono dissentit de tota philosophiae ratione dissentit. Transfer idem ad modestiam vel temperantiam, quae est moderatio cupiditatum rationi oboediens. Quare conare, quaeso.

Expressa vero in iis aetatibus, quae iam confirmatae sunt. Nam Pyrrho, Aristo, Erillus iam diu abiecti.
