“Ut Turpiōne Ambiviō magis dēlectātur, quī in prīmā caveā spectat, dēlectātur tamen etiam, quī in ultimā, sīc adulēscentiā voluptātēs propter intuēns magis fortasse laetātur, sed dēlectātur etiam senectūs procūl eās spectāns tāntum quantum sat est.”
Just as a spectator watching from the front section of the theater is more delighted by the actor Ambivius Turpio, nevertheless the one who sits in the back is also pleased. So youth, as it gazes upon pleasures near at hand, may rejoice more; but old age even enjoys viewing them from a distance, and to some extent that much is enough. (Prima, media, ultima or ima, media, summa were seating areas assigned to three classes of citizens.)
