[87]
neque enim in
aliqua parte, sed in perpetuitate temporis vita beata
dici1 solet, nec appellatur omnino vita, nisi confecta atque absoluta, nec potest quisquam alias beatus esse,
alias miser; qui enim existimabit posse se miserum
esse beatus non erit. nam cum suscepta semel est
beata vita, tam permanet quam ipsa illa effectrix beatae
vitae sapientia neque expectat ultimum tempus aetatis,
quod Croeso scribit Herodotus praeceptum a Solone.
At enim,2 quem ad modum tute dicebas,3 negat Epicurus
diuturnitatem4 quidem temporis ad beate vivendum
aliquid afferre, nec minorem voluptatem percipi in brevitate temporis, quam si illa sit sempiterna.
