Verborum eligendorum et conlocandorum et concludendorum
facilis est vel ratio vel sine ratione ipsa exercitatio;
rerum est silva magna, quam cum Graeci iam non tenerent
ob eamque causam iuventus nostra dedisceret paene discendo,
etiam Latini, si dis placet, hoc biennio magistri
dicendi exstiterunt; quos ego censor edicto meo sustuleram,
non quo, ut nescio quos dicere aiebant, acui ingenia
adulescentium nollem, sed contra ingenia obtundi nolui,
conroborari impudentiam.

Nam apud Graecos, cuicuimodi
essent, videbam tamen esse praeter hanc exercitationem
linguae doctrinam aliquam et humanitate dignam scientiam,
hos vero novos magistros nihil intellegebam posse docere,
nisi ut auderent; quod etiam cum bonis rebus coniunctum
per se ipsum est magno opere fugiendum: hoc cum unum
traderetur et cum impudentiae ludus esset, putavi esse
censoris, ne longius id serperet, providere.
