πολλάκις γὰρ συνερχόμεθά τινες εἰς ταὐτὸν παραπλησίαν ἡλικίαν ἔχοντες , διασῴζοντες τὴν παλαιὰν παροιμίαν : οἱ οὖν πλεῖστοι ἡμῶν ὀλοφύρονται συνιόντες , τὰς ἐν τῇ νεότητι ἡδονὰς ποθοῦντες καὶ ἀναμιμνῃσκόμενοι περί τε τἀφροδίσια καὶ περὶ πότους τε καὶ εὐωχίας καὶ ἄλλ᾽ ἄττα ἃ τῶν τοιούτων ἔχεται , καὶ ἀγανακτοῦσιν ὡς μεγάλων τινῶν ἀπεστερημένοι καὶ τότε μὲν εὖ ζῶντες , νῦν δὲ οὐδὲ ζῶντες .
At
these
reunions
most
of
us
make
lament
,
longing
for
the
lost
joys
of
youth
and
recalling
to
mind
the
pleasures
of
wine
,
women
,
and
feasts
,
and
other
things
thereto
appertaining
,
and
they
repine
in
the
belief
that
the
greatest
things
have
been
taken
from
them
and
that
then
they
lived
well
and
now
it
is
no
life
at
all
.
