mihi certe
[p. 104]
iucundus hic magis quam studiorum hortator videtur
esse secessus. namque illa, quae ipsa delectant,
necesse est avocent ab intentione operis destinati.
neque enim se bona fide in multa simul intendere
animus totum potest, et quocunque respexit, desinit
intueri quod propositum erat.
