Desinant ergo inconvenientia iungere et virtuti
voluptatem implicare, per quod vitium pessimis
quibusque adulantur. Ille effusus in voluptates,
ructabundus semper atque ebrius, quia scit se cum
voluptate vivere, credit et cum virtute ; audit enim
voluptatem separari a virtute non posse, deinde vitiis
suis sapientiam inscribit et abscondenda profitetur.
