Philodemos:
Might happiness come of something less frebile
In one chalice of wine instead of nine
In quiet contemplation rather than raucous war
In appreciation contra constant acquisition

Praetaxtatum:
Surely there are alternate states
What makes a boy of thirteen happy
Might sometime strike you as insipid.
You would not be wrong, but neither am I.
