THE EPISTLES OF SENECA in circum deferar et nullum par sine me depugnabit ad philosoplmm ire erubescam ? 3 Tamdiu discendum est, quamdiu nescias ; si proverbio credimus, quamdiu magis convenit quam huic : vivas. Nee ulli hoc rei tamdiu discendum est, quemadmodum vivas, quamdiu vivas. Ego tarnen doceam ? Etiam illic aliquid et doceo. Quaeris, quid 4 seni esse discendum. Pudet autem me generis humani, quotiens scholam intravi. Praeter ipsum theatrum Neapolitanorum, ut scis, transeundum est Metronactis petenti 1 domum. Illud quidem fartum est et ingenti studio, quis sit pythaules bonus, iudicatur ; habet tubicen quoque Graecus et praeco concursum. At in illo loco, in quo vir bonus quaeritur, in quo vir bonus discitur, paucissimi sedent, et hi plerisque videntur nihil boni negotii habere quod agant ; inepti et inertes vocantur. Mini contingat iste derisus ; aequo animo audienda sunt inperitorum convicia et ad honesta vadenti contemnendus est ipse contemptus. 5 Perge, Lucili, et propera, tibi ne et ipsi 2 accidat, quod mihi, ut senex discas ; immo ideo magis propera, quoniam diu 3 non adgressus es, quod perdiscere vix senex " " " possis. Quantum," inquis, proficiam ? 1 petenti Erasmus ; petentes VPb ; petentibns later MSS. 2 tibi ne et ipsi Hense ; tibi nee (ne Vb) VPb tibi ; ne tibi later MSS. 3 diu Buecheler ; id VPb. 148 * See also Ep. xciii.

You should keep learning as long as you are ignorant, even to the end of your life, if there is anything in the proverb. And the proverb suits the present case as well as any " As : long as you live, keep learning how to live." For all that, there is also something which I can teach in that school. You ask, do you, what I can teach ? That even an old man should keep learning. But I am ashamed of mankind, as often as I enter the lecture-hall. On my way to the house of Metronax a I am compelled to go, as you know, right past the Neapolitan Theatre. The building is jammed men are deciding, with tremendous zeal, who is entitled to be ; called a good flute-player even the Greek piper ; and the herald draw their crowds. But in the other place, where the question discussed is : " What is a good man?" and the lesson which we learn is . " How to be a good man," very few are in attendance, and the majority think that even these few are engaged in no good business ; they have the name of being empty-headed idlers. I hope I may be blessed with that kind of mockery for one ; should listen in an unruffled spirit to the railings of the ignorant; when one is marching toward the goal of honour, one should scorn scorn itself. Proceed, then, Lucilius, and hasten, lest you yourself be compelled to learn in your old age, as is the case with me. Nay, you must hasten all the more, because for a long time you have not approached the subject, which is one that you can scarcely learn thoroughly when you are old. " How much progress shall I make?" you ask. Just as much as you try 149
