Neque vos paean aut herous ille conturbet:
ipsi occurrent orationi; ipsi, inquam, se offerent et
respondebunt non vocati. Consuetudo modo illa sit
scribendi atque dicendi, ut sententiae verbis finiantur
eorumque verborum iunctio nascatur ab proceris numeris
ac liberis, maxime heroo aut paeane priore aut cretico, sed
varie distincteque considat. Notatur enim maxime similitudo
in conquiescendo. Et, si primi et postremi illi pedes
sunt hac ratione servati, medii possunt latere, modo ne
circuitus ipse verborum sit aut brevior, quam aures exspectent,
aut longior, quam vires atque anima patiatur.

Clausulas autem diligentius etiam servandas esse arbitror
quam superiora, quod in eis maxime perfectio atque absolutio
iudicatur. Nam versus aeque prima et media et
extrema pars attenditur, qui debilitatur, in quacumque est
parte titubatum; in oratione autem pauci prima cernunt,
postrema plerique: quae quoniam apparent et intelleguntur,
varianda sunt, ne aut animorum iudiciis repudientur aut
aurium satietate.
