duo praeterea Lentuli
consulares, quorum Publius ille nostrarum iniuriarum ultor,
auctor salutis, quicquid habuit, quantumcumque fuit, illud
totum habuit e disciplina; instrumenta naturae deerant;
sed tantus animi splendor et tanta magnitude ut sibi
omnia, quae clarorum virorum essent, non dubitaret asciscere eaque omni dignitate obtineret. L. autem Lentulus
satis erat fortis orator, si modo orator, sed cogitandi non
ferebat laborem; vox canora, verba non horrida sane, ut1
plena2 esset3 animi et terroris4 oratio; quaereres in iudiciis
fortasse melius, in re publica quod erat esse iudicares satis.
