vol. iii. p. 397. Cp. the
words quoted above from _Somn. Scip._: "mens cuiusque is
est quisque." M. S. Reinach (_Cultes_, etc. ii. 135
foll.) is not far out: "Nous souffrons chacun suivant le
degre de souillure de nos ames."

Legibus_, ii. 22 and 54 foll.

[833] _Ad Att._ xii. 18: "Longum illud tempus _cum non
ero_ magis me movet quam hoc exiguum," etc. Cp. _Tusc._
i. _ad fin._

[834] _Ad Fam._ iv. 5. 6: "Quod si quis apud inferos
sensus est, qui illius in te amor fuit pietasque in
omnes suos, hoc certe illa te facere nonvult."

[835] Sall. _Cat._ ch. 51: "Mortem cuncta mortalium
dissolvere, ultra neque curae neque gaudio locum esse."
This is the Epicurean doctrine, which Caesar was said to
hold.

[836] Catull. 5. 6; Pliny, _N.H._ vii. 188. The whole
passage is worth quoting: "Post sepulturam vanae Manium
ambages. Omnibus a supremo die eadem quae ante primum,
nec magis a morte sensus ullus aut corpori aut animae
quam ante natalem. Eadem enim vanitas in futurum etiam
se propagat et in mortis quoque tempora sibi vitam
mentitur, alias immortalitatem animae, alias
transfigurationem, _alias sensum inferis dando et Manes
colendo deumque faciendo qui iam etiam homo esse
desierit_, ceu vero ullo modo spirandi ratio ceteris
animalibus praestet, aut non diuturniora in vita multa
reperiantur quibus nemo similem divinat immortalitatem,"
etc.

[837] There is an essay on this form of literature in
the _Etudes morales sur l'antiquite_ of Constant Martha,
p. 135 foll.

_Lucretius_, i. p. 402. Mr. Cyril Bailey also reminds me
of Lucr. iii. 31-93, and 1053 to end; and adds a decided
opinion that the poet is not here thinking of the common
Roman, but of the educated Roman brought up on Greek and
Graeco-Roman poetry and philosophy.
