[154] διὰ μὲν δὴ τούτων φασὶ „παρελεύσεσθαι“, διὰ δὲ „ἀγρῶν καὶ ἀμπελώνων“ οὐκέτι· τὰ γὰρ ἥμερα ἐν ψυχῇ φυτὰ ἡμέρους ἀποτίκτοντα καρπούς, ἀστείους μὲν λόγους,
ἐπαινετὰς δὲ πράξεις, ὠγύγιος εὐήθεια παρέρχεσθαι· μένειν γὰρ ἔδει καὶ δρέπεσθαι καὶ ἀπλήστως ἐμφορεῖσθαι· κάλλιστον γὰρ ἡ ἐν ἀρεταῖς τελείαις ἀκόρεστος εὐφροσύνη, ἧς οἱ λεχθέντες ἀμπελῶνες σύμβολα.

[154] The Israelites say then that they will pass by this way, but that they will not pass any longer through the fields and vineyards; for it would be doting simplicity to pass by all the plants in the soul worthy of cultivation and producing eatable fruit, that is to say virtuous discourses and praiseworthy actions. For it would be proper rather to remain, and to gather the fruit, and to feed on it to satiety. For nothing is more beautiful than an insatiable cheerfulness amid perfect virtues, of which cheerfulness, the aforesaid vineyards are the symbol.
