quantulum enim studiis partimur
Alias horas vanus salutandi labor, alias datum tabulis
otium, alias spectacula, alias convivia trahunt. adiice
tot genera ludendi et insanam corporis curam, peregrinatio, rura, calculorum anxiam sollicitudinem,
invitamenta libidinum et vinum et flagrantibus omni
genere voluptatum animis1 ne ea quidem tempora
idonea, quae supersunt.
