Sed haud scio an melius Ennius: nemo me lacrumis decoret, neque funera fletu faxit 74 Non censet lugendam esse mortem, quam immortalitas consequatur. Iam sensus moriendi aliquis esse potest, isque ad exiguum tempus, praesertim seni: post mortem quidem sensus aut optandus aut nullus est.
The end of the epitaph is omitted here as in Tusc. 1, 117, but is given in Tusc. 1, 34 cur? volito vivas per ora virum. Notice the alliteration. ISQUE: cf. n. on 13 vixitque. AUT OPTANDUS AUT NULLUS: cf. 66 aut neglegenda ... aut optanda; nullus almost = non as in 67, but only in the Letters does Cic. Att. 11, 24, 4 Philotimus nullus venit.
