nam si grata fuit tibi vita anteacta priorque et non omnia pertusum congesta quasi in vas commoda perfluxere atque ingrata interiere, cur non ut plenus vitae conviva recedis aequo animoque capis securam, stulte, quietem? sin ea quae fructus cumque es periere profusa vitaque in offensost, cur amplius addere quaeris, rursum quod pereat male et ingratum occidat omne, non potius vitae finem facis atque laboris? nam tibi praeterea quod machiner inveniamque, quod placeat, nil est: eadem sunt omnia semper.
For if your former life now past has been to your liking, if it is not true that all your blessings have been gathered as it were into a riddled jar, and have run through and been lost without gratification, why not, like a banqueter fed full of life, withdraw with contentment and rest in peace, you fool? But if all that you have enjoyed has been spilt out and lost, and if you have a grudge at life, why seek to add more, only to be miserably lost again and to perish wholly without gratification? Why not rather make an end of life and trouble? For there is nothing else I can devise and invent to please you: everything is always the same.
