Iam vero consilio ac sapientia qui regere ac
gubernare rem publicam possint, multi nostra, plures patrum
memoria atque etiam maiorum exstiterunt, cum boni perdiu
nulli, vix autem singulis aetatibus singuli tolerabiles oratores
invenirentur. Ac ne qui forte cum aliis studiis, quae reconditis
in artibus atque in quadam varietate litterarum versentur,
magis hanc dicendi rationem, quam cum imperatoris
laude aut cum boni senatoris prudentia comparandam putet,
convertat animum ad ea ipsa artium genera circumspiciatque,
qui in eis floruerint quamque multi sint; sic facillime,
quanta oratorum sit et semper fuerit paucitas, iudicabit.
