nam [et] si eo bene uti velis, etiam parvum amplissimum efficies, numerum annorum multitudine operum superando'alioquin quid attinet inerti mora gaudere, si magis exigis vitam quam approbas? sed ne longius evager, eorum mentionem faciam qui non vulgari genere mortis absumpti sunt.

Otherwise what sense does it make to rejoice in idle delay, if you pass your life rather than prove its worth? But not to digress too far, I shall make mention of those who were carried off by a manner of death out of the ordinary.
