[102]
sed quoniam res humanae fragiles caducaeque
sunt, semper aliqui anquirendi sunt quos diligamus
et a quibus diligamur; caritate enim benevolentiaque sublata omnis est e vita sublata iucunditas.
mihi quidem Scipio, quamquam est subito ereptus,
vivit tamen semperque vivet; virtutem enim amavi
illius viri, quae exstincta non est. nec mihi soli
versatur ante oculos, qui illam semper in manibus
habui, sed etiam posteris erit clara et insignis. nemo
umquam animo aut spe maiora suscipiet qui sibi
non illius memoriam atque imaginem proponendam
putet.
