I am searching for a copy of a piece (don't know if it's a book or
within a book) called, "How A Young Man Ought to Hear Poems." I found
this title linked to the following quote: "Bad men live that they may
eat and drink whereas good men eat and drink that they may live."
--Socrates, from Plutarch, How a Young Man Ought to Hear Poems

Thinking it was a book, I looked on Amazon and found the following
notation from a book called, Eating Right in the Renaissance:

"that the theory itself psycho- somatically alerted people to
scrutinize the mouth of the stomach, in 15. As cited by Plutarch,
Moralia, "How a Young Man Ought to Hear Poems," 4. 16. Manfredi, p.
66r. 17. Nonmus, 134 and 136. Olives are not nourishing, but used "ad
orexim excitan- dam." ..."

Can you find this book/written piece for me?

Thanks very much,
Stephanie Anderson

Page 58:
?We must remember that Socrates said the contrary, to wit: Bad men
live that they eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they
may live. And against the man that wrote in this manner?

Thanks for the fast service and for the complete answer.
