Nam Solon quanta industria flagraverit et versibus complexus est, quibus significat se cotidie aliquid addiscentem senescere, et supremo vitae die confirmavit, quod, adsidentibus amicis et quadam de re sermonem inter se conferentibus, fatis iam pressum caput erexit, interrogatusque quapropter id fecisset, respondit ut cum istud, quidquid est, de quo disputatis percepero, moriar.
With what diligence Solon was inspired, he put into the verses in which he tells us that he grew old learning something every day, and he confirmed it on the last day of his life. His friends who were sitting by his side were talking about some matter among themselves, when he raised a head already weighed down by the fates. Asked why he did so he replied: So that as soon as I find out what you are discussing, whatever it is, I may die.
