LAT/ITA/ENG/DEU





Erige te, Lucili virorum optime, et relinque istum ludum litterarium philosophorum qui rem magnificentissimam ad syllabas vocant, qui animum minuta docendo demittunt et conterunt.


 

Eleva il tuo spirito, o Lucilio, ottimo fra gli uomini, e lascia da parte le esercitazioni letterarie di quei filosofi che riducono a un giuoco di sillabe la magnifica attività del pensiero, e, insegnando particolari insignificanti, deprimono e logorano l'animo.


 

Rouse yourself, most excellent Lucilius, and leave off all this word-play of the philosophers, who reduce a most glorious subject to a matter of syllables, and lower and wear out the soul by teaching fragments.


 

Erhebe Dich, mein allerbester Lucilius, und verlaß diese lächerliche Klippschule der Philosophen, die etwas ganz Großartiges verhackstücken, die den Geist, indem sie Lappalien lehren, herabwürdigen und geringschätzen.
