Qua re "bene et praeclare" quamvis nobis saepe dicatur;
"belle et festive" nimium saepe nolo; quamquam illa ipsa
exclamatio "non potest melius" sit velim crebra; sed habeat
tamen illa in dicendo admiratio ac summa laus umbram
aliquam et recessum, quo magis id, quod erit inluminatum,
exstare atque eminere videatur.

Numquam agit hunc
versum Roscius eo gestu, quo potest:
nam sapiens virtuti honorem praemium, haud praedam petit:
sed abicit prorsus, ut in proximo:
set quid video? Ferro saeptus possidet sedis sacras,
incidat, aspiciat, admiretur, stupescat. Quid, ille alter
quid petam praesidi?
quam leniter, quam remisse, quam non actuose! instat enim
o pater, o patria, o Priami domus!
in quo tanta commoveri actio non posset, si esset consumpta
superiore motu et exhausta. Neque id actores
prius viderunt quam ipsi poetae, quam denique illi etiam,
qui fecerunt modos, a quibus utrisque summittitur aliquid,
deinde augetur, extenuatur, inflatur, variatur, distinguitur.
