De Oratore, Rhetorica Tomus I. Cicero, Marcus Tullius, creator; Wilkins, Augustus S. (Augustus Samuel), d. 1905, editor
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.
