But you say, Ihave parted from a certain person, and he is grieved. Why did heconsider as his own that which belongs to another? why, when he lookedon you and was rejoiced, did he not also reckon that you are a mortal, that it is natural for you to part from him for a foreign country?Therefore he suffers the consequences of his own folly. But why do youor for what purpose bewail yourself? Is it that you also have notthought of these things? but like poor women who are good for nothing, you have... enjoyed all things in which you took pleasure, as if you wouldalways enjoy them, both places and men and conversation; and now you sitand weep because you do not see the same persons and do not live in thesame places. Indeed you deserve this, to be more wretched than crows andravens who have the power of flying where they please and changing theirnests for others, and crossing the seas without lamenting or regrettingtheir former condition. Yes, but this happens to them because they areirrational creatures.
