Tum mihi Piso: Quid ergo? Bona autem corporis huic sunt, quod posterius posui, similiora. Philosophi autem in suis lectulis plerumque moriuntur. Nunc dicam de voluptate, nihil scilicet novi, ea tamen, quae te ipsum probaturum esse confidam. Scio enim esse quosdam, qui quavis lingua philosophari possint; Facit enim ille duo seiuncta ultima bonorum, quae ut essent vera, coniungi debuerunt;

Et quod est munus, quod opus sapientiae? Obsecro, inquit, Torquate, haec dicit Epicurus? Tecum optime, deinde etiam cum mediocri amico. Quia dolori non voluptas contraria est, sed doloris privatio. Illis videtur, qui illud non dubitant bonum dicere -; Quae similitudo in genere etiam humano apparet. Sed quot homines, tot sententiae; Eam tum adesse, cum dolor omnis absit; Quia nec honesto quic quam honestius nec turpi turpius. Etiam beatissimum?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Facit enim ille duo seiuncta ultima bonorum, quae ut essent vera, coniungi debuerunt; Deinde prima illa, quae in congressu solemus: Quid tu, inquit, huc? Alterum significari idem, ut si diceretur, officia media omnia aut pleraque servantem vivere. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Quid turpius quam sapientis vitam ex insipientium sermone pendere? Negat enim summo bono afferre incrementum diem. Ad eas enim res ab Epicuro praecepta dantur. Quid enim mihi potest esse optatius quam cum Catone, omnium virtutum auctore, de virtutibus disputare?

Hanc quoque iucunditatem, si vis, transfer in animum; Ab hoc autem quaedam non melius quam veteres, quaedam omnino relicta. Eadem nunc mea adversum te oratio est.

Quis hoc dicit? Quodsi vultum tibi, si incessum fingeres, quo gravior viderere, non esses tui similis; Maximus dolor, inquit, brevis est. Hoc non est positum in nostra actione. Respondent extrema primis, media utrisque, omnia omnibus. Sed videbimus. Et si turpitudinem fugimus in statu et motu corporis, quid est cur pulchritudinem non sequamur? Atqui, inquit, si Stoicis concedis ut virtus sola, si adsit vitam efficiat beatam, concedis etiam Peripateticis.

Haec igitur Epicuri non probo, inquam. Nam illud vehementer repugnat, eundem beatum esse et multis malis oppressum. Utilitatis causa amicitia est quaesita. An eum discere ea mavis, quae cum plane perdidiceriti nihil sciat? Satisne ergo pudori consulat, si quis sine teste libidini pareat?

Sed quid ages tandem, si utilitas ab amicitia, ut fit saepe, defecerit? Praeclare hoc quidem. Non est ista, inquam, Piso,

magna dissensio. Tu enim ista lenius, hic Stoicorum more nos vexat. Cur igitur easdem res, inquam, Peripateticis dicentibus verbum nullum est, quod non intellegatur? Id enim volumus, id contendimus, ut officii fructus sit ipsum officium. Philosophi autem in suis lectulis plerumque moriuntur. Sed tamen est aliquid, quod nobis non liceat, liceat illis.

Consequentia exquirere, quoad sit id, quod volumus, effectum. Si qua in iis corrigere voluit, deteriora fecit. Haeret in salebra. Et quod est munus, quod opus sapientiae? Sed potestne rerum maior esse dissensio? Quae in controversiam veniunt, de iis, si placet, disseramus. Roges enim Aristonem, bonane ei videantur haec: vacuitas doloris, divitiae, valitudo; Quo plebiscito decreta a senatu est consuli quaestio Cn. Te ipsum, dignissimum maioribus tuis, voluptasne induxit, ut adolescentulus eriperes P. Idque testamento cavebit is, qui nobis quasi oraculum ediderit nihil post mortem ad nos pertinere?

Ita redarguitur ipse a sese, convincunturque scripta eius probitate ipsius ac moribus. Prave, nequiter, turpiter cenabat; At ille pellit, qui permulcet sensum voluptate. Ita cum ea volunt retinere, quae superiori sententiae conveniunt, in Aristonem incidunt; Quid ergo aliud intellegetur nisi uti ne quae pars naturae neglegatur? Si quidem, inquit, tollerem, sed relinquo. Ut in geometria, prima si dederis, danda sunt omnia.

Quippe: habes enim a rhetoribus; Ego vero volo in virtute vim esse quam maximam; A primo, ut opinor, animantium ortu petitur origo summi boni. Quas enim kakaw Graeci appellant, vitia malo quam malitias nominare. Qua tu etiam inprudens utebare non numquam. Hoc dixerit potius Ennius: Nimium boni est, cui nihil est mali. Et quidem Arcesilas tuus, etsi fuit in disserendo pertinacior, tamen noster fuit; Quis suae urbis conservatorem Codrum, quis Erechthei filias non maxime laudat? Cupit enim dícere nihil posse ad beatam vitam deesse sapienti. Non ego tecum iam ita iocabor, ut isdem his de

rebus, cum L.
