Section 42 Ryan,m Tachelle, Jordan, Katie

If you should have encountered that one, who scorns the beauty of things with the eyes, who does not seize it with any scent, nor with touch, nor with taste, excludes charm with ears, then perhaps I would be for this man, and a few would think that the gods were pleased, on the other hand, many would think them angry. Consequently, this neglected way, having been deserted and blocked may now be left behind to the foliage and thicket. Let some game be given for age, let his youth be more free, let them not refuse all things for pleasures, never let straight reason overcome those truths, occasionally, let desire and pleasure conquer reason, so long as teaching and limitation have these things in this class. A young man protects his own good name, so he does not spoil the good name belonging to an other, so he does not throw away inheritance, so the interest is not slaughtered, so he does not attack against the house and the family of an other, so he does not bring shame upon the pure, dishonor upon the untouched, nor disgrace upon the good, let him not terrify any with violence, nor be involved in conspiracy, and be free from villainy.
At last, when he may have submitted to pleasures, he would have imparted something of time to the game of age and to these inane desires of youth, and before it was too late, he would call himself back to the cares of domestic things, to those of things pertaining to the forum and of things political, so that she, who had, before, looked down with excessive reason, with him needing to make the attempt, would seem to have thrown down and despise him.
