Mihi quidem ille vir, quanquam est subito ereptus, vivit semperque vivet; virtutem enim ejus amavi, quæ extincta non est. Nec mihi soli vivit sed etiam posteris erit insignis.

Nescio an ullum jucundius tempus exegerim, quam quo nuper apud Spurinnam fui; adeo quidem ut neminem magis in senectute (si modo senescere datum est) æmulari velim: nihil est enim illo vitæ genere distinctius. Me autem ut certus siderum cursus, ita vita hominum disposita delectat, senum præsertim. Nam juvenes confusa adhuc quædam et quasi turbata non indecent : senibus placida omnia et ordinata conveniunt. Hanc regulam Spurinna constantissime servat; quinetiam parva hæc ordine quodam circumagit. Nec minus

Wie oft hören wir von Reisenden das glückliche Land, das schöne Klima, den reinen blauen Himmel, die milde Luft Italien's preisen. Und es ist zum größten Theil wahr, und unübertrieben. Daraus folgt nun aber für's Leben, daß wer nur kann und so lange er nur immer kann, gern unter freiem Himmel sein und auch bei seinen Geschäften der Luft genießent mag. Wie viele Handwerker arbeiten vor den Häusern auf freier Straße! Wie viele Laden sind ganz gegen die Straße zu eröffnet! Wie mancherlei geschieht auf den Märkten, Pläßen und in den Höfen.
