at vero in M. Caelio – dicam enim iam confidentius de studiis eius honestis, quoniam audeo quaedam fretus vestra sapientia libere confiteri – nulla luxuries reperietur, nulli sumptus, nullum aes alienum, nulla conviviorum ac lustrorum libido: quod quidem vitium ventris et gurgitis non modo non minuit aetas hominibus sed etiam auget.
But truthfully, in Marcus Caelius — for I now say this more assuredly about his devotion and honesty, since I, relying on a certain wisdom of yours, intend to confess frankly — no luxury will find him, no expenses, no other people's bronze, no passion of banquets or debauchery: because in fact, age not only did not reduce flaws of gluttony and craving for people, but increased [them].
amores autem et hae deliciae, quae vocantur, quae firmiore animo praeditis diutius molestae non solent esse – mature enim et celeriter deflorescunt – numquam hunc occupatum impeditumque tenuerunt.
However, love and these pleasures, as they are called, which are not accustomed to being bothersome to [someone] supplied for a longer time with a firmer mind — for they wither early and quickly — they never held this occupied and inaccessible [person].
