The Satires of Juvenal, Persius, Sulpicia, and Lucilius

Note 1204 — PERSIUS.

Lewis Evans translation

En pallor seniumque! "Is then the fruit of all thy study, that has caused all thy pallor and premature debility, no better than this? that thou canst imagine no higher and nobler use of learning than for the purpose of vain display!" Lucilius uses senium for the tedium and weariness produced by long application.
