Verum tamen, ut dicis,
Antoni, multum in causis persaepe lepore et facetiis profici
vidi. Sed cum illo in genere perpetuae festivitatis ars non
desideretur (natura enim fingit homines et creat imitatores
et narratores facetos adiuvante et vultu et voce et ipso
genere sermonis) tum vero in hoc altero dicacitatis quid
habet ars loci, cum ante illud facete dictum emissum haerere
debeat, quam cogitari potuisse videatur?

Quid enim hic
meus frater ab arte adiuvari potuit, cum a Philippo interrogatus
quid latraret, furem se videre respondit? Quid in
omni oratione Crassus vel apud centum viros contra Scaevolam
vel contra accusatorem Brutum, cum pro Cn. Plancio
diceret? Nam id, quod tu mihi tribuis, Antoni, Crasso est
omnium sententia concedendum; non enim fere quisquam
reperietur praeter hunc in utroque genere leporis excellens:
et illo, quod in perpetuitate sermonis, et hoc, quod in celeritate
atque dicto est.
