aliud vis, contentum, vehemens, imminens quadam incitatione gravitatis:
iterum Thyestes Atreum adtractatum advenit,
iterum iam adgreditur me et quietum exsuscitat.
maior mihi moles, maius miscendumst malum,
qui illius acerbum cor contundam et comprimam.
aliud voluptas, effusum, lene, tenerum, hilaratum ac remissum:
sed sibi cum tetulit coronam ob coligandas nuptias,
tibi ferebat, cum simulabat se sibi alacriter dare,
tum ad te ludibunda docte et delicate detulit.
aliud molestia, sine commiseratione grave quoddam et uno pressu ac sono obductum:
qua tempestate Helenam Paris innuptis iunxit nuptiis,
ego tum gravida, expletis iam fui ad pariendum mensibus;
per idem tempus Polydorum Hecuba partu postremo parit.

Omnis autem hos motus subsequi debet gestus, non hic verba exprimens scaenicus, sed universam rem et sententiam non demonstratione, sed significatione declarans, laterum inflexione hac forti ac virili, non ab scaena et histrionibus, sed ab armis aut etiam a palaestra; manus autem minus arguta, digitis subsequens verba, non exprimens; bracchium procerius proiectum quasi quoddam telum orationis; supplosio pedis in contentionibus aut incipiendis aut finiendis.
