Atque ut a familiari nostro exordiar, hunc ego, Catule, Sulpicium primum in causa parvula adulescentulum audivi voce et forma et motu corporis et reliquis rebus aptis ad hoc munus, de quo quaerimus, oratione autem celeri et concitata, quod erat ingeni, et verbis effervescentibus et paulo nimium redundantibus, quod erat aetatis. Non sum aspernatus; volo enim se efferat in adulescente fecunditas; nam facilius sicut in vitibus revocantur ea, quae se nimium profuderunt, quam, si nihil valet materies, nova sarmenta cultura excitantur; item volo esse in adulescente, unde aliquid amputem; non enim potest in eo sucus esse diuturnus, quod nimis celeriter est maturitatem exsecutum.
