Studia quoque graviora iracundis omittenda sunt aut certe citra lassitudinem exercenda, et animus non inter plura versandus, sed artibus amoenis tradendus. Lectio illum carminum obleniat et historia fabulis detineat ; mollius delicatiusque tractetur. Pythagoras perturbationes animi lyra componebat; quis autem ignorat lituos et tubas concitamenta esse, sicut quosdam cantus blandimenta, quibus mens resolvatur ? Confusis oculis prosunt virentia et quibusdam coloribus infirma acies adquiescit, quorundam splendore praestringitur; sic mentes aegras studia laeta permulcent. Forum, advocationes, iudicia fugere debemus et omnia quae exulcerant vitium, aeque cavere lassitudinem corporis ; consumit enim quidquid in nobis mite placidumque est et aeria concitat.
