Cogitanti mihi saepe numero et memoria vetera repetenti
perbeati fuisse, Quinte frater, illi videri solent, qui in
optima re publica, cum et honoribus et rerum gestarum
gloria florerent, eum vitae cursum tenere potuerunt, ut vel in
negotio sine periculo vel in otio cum dignitate esse possent;
ac fuit cum mihi quoque initium requiescendi atque animum
ad utriusque nostrum praeclara studia referendi
fore iustum et prope ab omnibus concessum arbitrarer, si
infinitus forensium rerum labor et ambitionis occupatio
decursu honorum, etiam aetatis flexu constitisset.
