E3P27S
Scholium — Part III
Latin
Hæc affectuum imitatio quando ad tristitiam refertur, vocatur commiseratio (de qua vide scholium propositionis 22 hujus) sed ad cupiditatem relata æmulatio, quæ proinde nihil aliud est quam alicujus rei cupiditas quæ in nobis ingeneratur ex eo quod alios nobis similes eandem cupiditatem habere imaginamur.

Modern English
This imitation of affects, when it relates to sadness, is called pity (on which see the scholium of P22). When it relates to desire, it is called emulation, which is therefore nothing other than the desire for something that arises in us from the fact that we conceive others similar to ourselves to have the same desire (E3P22S).
